Caddy is a web server like Apache, nginx, or lighttpd, but with different goals, features, and advantages. The purpose of Caddy is to streamline an authentic web development, deployment, and hosting workflow so that anyone can host their own web sites without requiring special technical knowledge. Caddy is also the first and only web server to serve all live sites over HTTPS by default. Fundamentally, Caddy aims to make websites easier by lowering the barrier to entry. Like other web servers, Caddy is for system administrators and web developers, but Caddy is also tailored to designers and writers who don’t want to deal with a lot of the technical cruft that traditionally comes along with setting up a server.
