  1. I find that the performance difference isn’t such a big issue. I’m mostly using it to reverse-proxy requests where some requests go to a backend API service, others to static content. That’s just my own take.

  2. I’ve personally used Caddy very rarely as a proxy for a single service.
    However, when it comes to orchestrating a microservice mesh, Traefik (based on Caddy) has been an easy-to-use option with out-of-the-box observability and acceptable performance.
