Indeed, Silicon should be seen as a glue between low level http libraries, a message encoding format, others externals resources like databases, and your actual API.
You can use it with microhttpd, or any other network libraries (the current version provides backends to cpp-netlib and mimosa https://github.com/abique/mimosa).
Future integration with websocket library is planned.
Don't know much about proxygen but it seems like the goal of the project are similar: Ease the writing of high performance C++ web APIs.
However, when reading proxygen echo sample [1], I would say that silicon has a higher level of abstraction.
