The article discusses the revival of stalled development on OpenBSD's relayd(8) and httpd(8) daemons, which had been neglected by established OpenBSD developers. The author and a collaborator, kirill@, took up the work driven by real-world customer needs and a personal desire to challenge themselves with C programming again.
Background
relayd(8) is an OpenBSD reverse proxy and load balancer, while httpd(8) is OpenBSD's built-in web server. Both are core networking daemons in the OpenBSD base system.
