OpenTelemetry is the CNCF standard for traces, metrics, and logs collection. Vendor-agnostic instrumentation that works with any observability backend.
Reviewer scorecard
“Automatic HTTPS and the Caddyfile syntax make web server config trivial. Reverse proxy setup is one line.”
“The standard for observability instrumentation. Auto-instrument once, send to any backend — Datadog, Grafana, Honeycomb.”
“Automatic HTTPS alone justifies switching from Nginx. The Caddyfile is infinitely more readable than nginx.conf.”
“Vendor-agnostic instrumentation prevents lock-in. The ecosystem is mature enough for production.”
“Caddy proves that web servers can be simple. Automatic HTTPS should have always been the default.”
“OpenTelemetry will be to observability what Kubernetes is to orchestration — the universal standard.”
