Kubernetes orchestrates container deployment, scaling, and management. The industry standard for production container workloads. Powerful but complex.
Reviewer scorecard
“Automatic HTTPS and the Caddyfile syntax make web server config trivial. Reverse proxy setup is one line.”
“The standard for production container orchestration. Managed K8s (EKS, GKE, AKS) removes most operational burden.”
“Automatic HTTPS alone justifies switching from Nginx. The Caddyfile is infinitely more readable than nginx.conf.”
“Massively over-engineered for 90% of workloads. Most teams would be better served by simpler deployment platforms.”
“Caddy proves that web servers can be simple. Automatic HTTPS should have always been the default.”
“The API model Kubernetes established is becoming the universal infrastructure abstraction layer.”
