Caddy had been a joy for me personally coming from NGINX. I especially love the ease of adding a new site and how little config it takes. Small self plug, I recently wrote an article about some cool config examples https://jarv.org/posts/cool-caddy-config-tricks/ https://jarv.org/posts/cool-caddy-config-tricks/
- thomasfromcdnjs 3y agoFor local development, I don't think nginx/apache even contend against it. The config is incredibly readable, and caddy is a single executable with no dependencies.
- isodev 3y agoAlso for production, it's such a joy to be able to configure a VM with a single Caddyfile (or worst case, provision the server using the Caddy REST API). I love it!
- berkes 3y agoSame here. And, having mostly worked with Rails, PHP and Python http services, the proxying webserver is hardly ever a performance issue. You can stick the slowest webserver in front of a Rails (Rack) app and still be unable to measure the latency it adds. I've been using caddy for years and while it's slower in benchmarks, than others, I've never had the practical situation where that mattered.
- caddyroxors 3y agoComparing it to nginx is a such a low bar; 9 out of 10 masochists prefer nginx over any other tool. But I see and agree with your overall point. Caddy is like a breath of fresh air, and just as useful!
- layer8 3y agoIt’s funny to read this, remembering when Nginx was considered the fresh air in comparison to Apache.
- reactordev 3y agoIt’s funny because I remember when Apache was a breath of fresh air to httpd.
