• Differences between caddy and nginx (ChatGPT 3.5)
  • Configuration:

    • Nginx uses a complex, block-based configuration language, which can be challenging for beginners.

    • Caddy uses a simpler, declarative configuration file called the Caddyfile.

  • Automatic HTTPS:

    • Nginx requires manual configuration for HTTPS and certificate management.

    • Caddy automatically obtains and manages TLS certificates, making it easier to secure your website.

  • Plugins:

    • Nginx has a vast ecosystem of third-party modules, but adding these can increase complexity.

    • Caddy has built-in modules for common tasks like logging, rate limiting, and authentication, reducing reliance on external tools.

  • Performance:
    • Both are performant, but benchmarks often show Caddy with a slight edge in low-resource situations.
  • Ease of use:

    • Caddy is generally considered easier to learn and use due to its simpler configuration and focus on automation.

    • Nginx has a steeper learning curve but offers more control for experienced users.
