-This guide explains two ways to integrate FrankenPHP with DDEV:
-
-1. **Official DDEV add-on** (recommended): Run FrankenPHP as a separate service with full PHP extension support and flexibility
-2. **Debian packages**: Install FrankenPHP directly in the web container (PHP 8.4 only, limited features)
+This guide explains how FrankenPHP can be used with DDEV using [ddev/ddev-frankenphp](https://github.com/ddev/ddev-frankenphp) add-on.
 
 ### Generic web server
 
-This blog shows examples of the recently added [DDEV's generic web server](https://docs.ddev.com/en/stable/users/extend/customization-extendibility/#using-nodejs-as-ddevs-primary-web-server), which supports flexible configurations. It allows you to use any custom web server you want, including Node.js, Python, Ruby, etc.

-## Alternative: FrankenPHP via Debian Packages
-
-FrankenPHP can also be installed directly in the web container using Debian packages. This example from the [DDEV quickstart](https://docs.ddev.com/en/stable/users/quickstart/#generic-frankenphp) shows a setup for a Drupal 11 project where FrankenPHP runs as an extra daemon.

 ## Benchmarking
 
 Using [ddev-frankenphp-benchmark](https://github.com/stasadev/ddev-frankenphp-benchmark), I compared three setups:
 
 - `nginx-fpm`: DDEV's `nginx-fpm` web server with `php-fpm`
-- `generic-web`: DDEV's `generic` web server with FrankenPHP inside the `web` container (static binary)
-- `generic-addon`: DDEV's `generic` web server with FrankenPHP inside the `frankenphp` container (with `pdo_mysql` extension)
+- `frankenphp`: DDEV's `generic` web server with `frankenphp`
+- `apache-fpm`: DDEV's `apache-fpm` web server with `php-fpm`
