Pingora is not a standalone web server (like NGINX or Apache httpd), it's a Rust-based framework developed by Cloudflare for building network services, particularly HTTP proxies. River (built on Pingora) is designed to be a reverse proxy. My web server on the other hand is designed to be a general-purpose web server (it also supports reverse proxying).
