Reviewer scorecard
“Automatic HTTPS and the Caddyfile syntax make web server config trivial. Reverse proxy setup is one line.”
“Best DX for deployment. `railway up` and you're live. Databases, cron, and private networking just work.”
“Automatic HTTPS alone justifies switching from Nginx. The Caddyfile is infinitely more readable than nginx.conf.”
“The Heroku successor done right. Fair usage-based pricing and none of the cold start nightmares.”
“Caddy proves that web servers can be simple. Automatic HTTPS should have always been the default.”
“Railway is building the best developer experience in cloud hosting. They understand what developers actually want.”
