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

      It does actually, NGINX likes to drop connections when it gets overwhelmed, Caddy prefers to slow down the connection and respond when it can.

        This might be true but appservers and DBs usually give up way before nginx.

          NGINX has given way on other instances too, however, when the Reddit invasion happened. I kept getting 500 errors on most instances.
