vLLM is a high-throughput, memory-efficient LLM inference engine with PagedAttention. The standard for self-hosted LLM serving with continuous batching and speculative decoding.
Reviewer scorecard
“Automatic HTTPS and the Caddyfile syntax make web server config trivial. Reverse proxy setup is one line.”
“PagedAttention is a breakthrough for inference efficiency. The standard for production self-hosted LLM serving.”
“Automatic HTTPS alone justifies switching from Nginx. The Caddyfile is infinitely more readable than nginx.conf.”
“If you're self-hosting LLMs, vLLM is the obvious choice. Battle-tested and actively maintained.”
“Caddy proves that web servers can be simple. Automatic HTTPS should have always been the default.”
“Self-hosted inference will remain important for latency, cost, and privacy. vLLM is the infrastructure layer.”
