Feather

Feather is a Drush script for managing and running an Apache http server in a development environment with minimal configuration. Feather maintains an isolated set of Apache configuration files, optimized to run a minimal httpd server. These configuration files are completely managed by Feather, so gone are the days of manually setting up virtual hosts for every new development site.

How is this different from drush run-server? The key difference is that Feather runs Apache, so it provides a development environment that is more similar to most production environments.
