Caddy is a web server written in Go with automatic HTTPS, reverse proxy, and simple configuration. The modern alternative to Nginx and Apache.
Reviewer scorecard
“Fastest Stable Diffusion and Flux inference. Sub-second cold starts make real-time image generation practical.”
“Automatic HTTPS and the Caddyfile syntax make web server config trivial. Reverse proxy setup is one line.”
“For image generation APIs, fal.ai's speed is unmatched. The model library covers popular diffusion models.”
“Automatic HTTPS alone justifies switching from Nginx. The Caddyfile is infinitely more readable than nginx.conf.”
“Specialized GPU inference for media generation is a growing market. fal.ai's speed creates a real differentiator.”
“Caddy proves that web servers can be simple. Automatic HTTPS should have always been the default.”
