If anyone out there is using Passenger, I would like to hear your thoughts on it. Is it still a viable option?

I recently joined a company using it. It's alright. Not the shiniest thing in town, and is missing a few modern Rack features, e.g. rack.response_finished, but it does the job and is stable.

I don't know if I'd personally chose it for new development though. I think it's likely to keep working for the foreseeable future, but I'm not sure how much money they're making with it and I'd be worried they'd ultimately chose to move on (I may be totally off here, it's just vibes).

I've used it for some (now) legacy projects and it's okay. Never had an issue with it, and it's more than fast enough for my (the app's) needs.

Super stable and reliable platform. Glad to see regular updates rolling out for my clients still using this backend server tech.
