Apache HTTP Server
Secure, efficient and extensible server that provides HTTP services in sync with the current HTTP standards.
Developed outside the platforms our data source measures, so there is no activity history to score. This says nothing about the project — many unrated projects are actively maintained.

Is Apache HTTP Server actively maintained?
We cannot measure this one. Apache HTTP Server is developed outside the platforms our data source collects activity from, and its repository lives at svn.apache.org — so there is no commit history or release cadence here to score.
Read that as missing data, not as a warning. Several of the best-maintained projects in this catalogue are unrated for exactly this reason. To judge it, open the repository and look at the date of the most recent commit yourself.
What Apache HTTP Server actually does
Apache HTTP Server is a traditional web server that processes incoming requests and delivers web pages and assets over HTTP. It provides standard web hosting capabilities and adheres to current internet networking specifications. You can run it directly on your operating system or package it inside containers.
Best fit: It suits administrators who need a standard, well-documented web server for publishing static sites or basic HTTP content. It is also useful in environments already standardised around Debian packages or containerised workflows.
Worth knowing: The upstream release data and repository metrics for this specific entry are unavailable or unrated, meaning you should verify its current maintenance status independently. Configuration syntax can also be complex compared to newer alternatives.
Deployment notes
You will typically deploy it using standard package managers or container runtimes like Docker, relying on persistent storage for your web root and log files. It usually sits behind or alongside existing infrastructure, though you will need to configure TLS termination separately depending on your setup.
