> The bigger the company is, the more likely they are to go with just building Caddy themselves instead of paying for it. That's not true at all. Big companies pay for software, not small shops. If J Developer says to their boss, "Well, I'd really like to use this thing, but it costs $X" and $X is sufficiently small, companies will frequently just go for it. No technical manager worth their salt is going to argue for their engineers who cost $X0,000 per month to be spending time managing a bespoke build pipeline to get out of paying somebody. > Maybe I'm underestimating the size of the demographic they're targeting, but it seems to me that the only market for Caddy is a fairly small niche of people who are unwilling/unable to run NGINX or set up their own build process. The auto-TLS aspect (among many other niceties such as simple configuration) is really quite nice for a large swath of users.
