That post is more than a year old. Caddy has since had more than 70 contributors and &gt; 1K commits.<p>Based on my experience, replacing nginx (in my case acting as a fairly simple reverse proxy for rails) with Caddy wasn&#x27;t significantly harder than compiling a custom nginx. If you have a complex configuration, YMMV. I&#x27;m definitely not suggesting using Caddy as a drop-in replacement for your existing production web server without further testing. That being said, getting rid of a OpenSSL dependency isn&#x27;t a bad thing.
