I’ve recently been wondering if Lemmy should switch out NGINX for Caddy, while I hadn’t had experience with Caddy it looks like a great & fast alternative, What do you all think?

EDIT: I meant beehaw not Lemmy as a whole

    If it’s not broken why change it? Are there performance benefits to switching?

      I think there are, but there would need to be testing done, on the surface it seems to be a much simpler proxy than nginx. And doesn’t use the same architecture as Nginx

        Caddy is not going to fix anything, on the contrary, it consumes more ram. Generally the instances have been slowing down when swap gets hit by the db, so lowering ram usage and optimizing that should be the first priority.
