What Hacker News says
6 sources*and memory safety*
This cannot be understated. Caddy is not written in C! And it can even run your NGINX configs. :) https://github.com/caddyserver/nginx-adapter
In 35M Hot Dogs: Benchmarking Caddy vs. NginxIt's written in Go, so right out the gate you get stronger memory safety guarantees than other servers written in C, which results in more secure software on your edge.
Caddy's HTTPS/TLS implementation is among the most robust in the industry - powered by Go's performant and fairly bulletproof TLS stack, and combined with CertMagic's advanced TLS automation logic, your sites can stay online through situations that are problematic for other setups.
Fewer moving parts means less that can go wrong. Caddy will make you more productive and lower your costs.
An on-line config API is nice if you are automating anything.
You might even be able to use your existing nginx config to begin your transition: https://github.com/caddyserver/nginx-adapter
In Show HN: Caddy 2Yep, there are several reasons, you can read about them here: https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/wiki/v2:-FAQ#why-json-f...
Basically, it is highly interoperable and allows us to build config adapters on top of it, so you don't have to use JSON if you really don't want to. Most people use the Caddyfile. You can use YAML or TOML or CUE if you prefer those. Or heck, you can use your nginx config: https://github.com/caddyserver/nginx-adapter
In Show HN: Caddy 2And even bring your config with you: https://github.com/caddyserver/nginx-adapter
In Building a static serverless website using S3 and CloudFrontThanks for the feedback.
(To clarify, nginx's config is also declarative... well, mostly: they got in trouble for mixing declarative and imperative [1].)
You'd be surprised what we've been able to accomplish with upgrades to Caddy's configuration in Caddy 2. Its config is technically declarative, but the underlying JSON structure [2] implies a procedural flow, enabling you to compose certain behaviors that almost feels imperative. When Caddy 2 release candidates go out in a couple months, try it out with both the Caddyfile (soon to be majorly improved in beta 13) and the underlying JSON and you'll see what I mean.
Oh, but if you want to still use your nginx config, go ahead (WIP) [3]. :)
