Before nginx was a thing, I worked with a guy who forked apache httpd and wrote this blog in C, like, literally embedded html and css inside the server, so when he made a tpyo or was adding another post he had to recompile the source code. The performance was out of this world.
Ah, you met fefe.
Fefe uses a LDAP server as backend, not Apache
He also uses his own http server that in turn queries the ldap server solely for the articles. The rest is compiled into the http server binary.
He uses his own http server called gatling and an LDAP server instead of a database.
