Nah, FreeBSD lost server story in the cloud. There is a very little story in on-prem. There is way more risk choosing FreeBSD as your server OS than as your desktop OS.

This is coming from someone who use FreeBSD on daily laptop and weekend desktop. I would just not pick FreeBSD at work for anything other than my personal-work VM.

Rust is not an answer. There is zero kernel development support from both rust and freebsd side. I know that because I'm working on KPI for both as well as multiple userspace library wrappers.



FreeBSD has seemed to find a niche in storage appliances. A few big names run servers on the same instances (eg Netflix).
