Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

1. 01

   Limited language support beyond Python and Rust

   Primary focus on WSGI, ASGI, and RSGI protocols restricts usage to Python web applications

2. 02

   Complex setup process for non-Rust developers

   Requires understanding of Rust-based tooling and configuration for optimal performance

3. 03

   Smaller community and less extensive documentation compared to mainstream servers like Nginx or Apache

   Documentation is not as comprehensive, and user support forums are less active

What it does well

• High-performance HTTP server built in Rust

• Support for WSGI, ASGI, and RSGI protocols
