Caddy is an HTTP/1-2-3 web server, written in Go, which provides automatic HTTPS by default, utilizing services like ZeroSSL and Let's Encrypt for public names or a local CA for internal ones. It supports flexible configuration through its native JSON API, a Caddyfile, or various other formats via config adapters. The project highlights a modular architecture for extensibility, runs on multiple platforms without external dependencies, and benefits from Go's memory safety features. The README indicates it has served trillions of requests and managed millions of TLS certificates, scaling to hundreds of thousands of sites in production. With 74.6k stars, Caddy began development in 2014 and was an early adopter of automatic HTTPS by default.
