Apache still the recommended server for Puppet?

[Teddy O]

   I noticed a change on the puppetlabs website. In the past, when I'd go to the install instructions, there was a disclaimer stating that the default puppet server was not recommended other than for small tasks or experimentation, and that Apache with Passenger should be used instead for performance reasons.

    Going to the install page at https://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/install_puppet/install_el.html I no longer see that notice.

    Have some big changes been made in the default webrick server so it's performing on par with an Apache/Passenger install method, or has the notice just been removed?

Not sure if it was always there, but it's on the next page:

At the bottom of the page is the following:

At this point, Puppet is installed, but it isn’t configured or running. You should now do the post-install tasks.

which brings you to this :

https://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/install_puppet/post_install.html#configure-a-production-ready-web-server

which starts out, "Puppet includes a basic puppet master web server, but you cannot use it for real-life loads. You must configure a production quality web server before you start managing your nodes with Puppet".
