it's a legitimate concern. the only alternatives to cowboy for http2 are chatterbox and ace which are both single maintainer and, as far as i know, not in wide use (even by erlang standards). for http1 you have elli but it's also never been widely deployed and it's unmaintained as of years ago
Not really. As mentioned elsewhere, there are many contributors to Cowboy and major companies using it as well. Heroku, AWS uses it in Cloudfront last I checked, Incapsula too.
