🆚 Apache Traffic Server vs. Caddy

Apache Traffic Server is an open-source high-performance HTTP caching proxy server that serves cached content at the network edge to reduce origin load and improve response times.

It provides an event-driven core with asynchronous native DNS for high concurrency, and supports custom plugins written in C/C++ or Lua for modifying headers, inspecting caches, handling Edge Side Includes, and implementing custom caching algorithms.

Caddy is an open-source multi-platform web server written in Go with built-in support for automatic HTTPS and modern web protocols.

It supports automatic TLS management with providers such as Let's Encrypt and ZeroSSL, includes a built-in reverse proxy with load balancing, offers configuration through the human-readable Caddyfile or a JSON-based REST API, and features a modular architecture that can be extended with plugins.
