Caddyfile have easier syntax imho. Now, I wonder how does it compares to traefik..

If you are using caddy in k8s or docker (compose), you are wasting time. Traefik can be configured in almost every way via labels on pods/containers. It's also frustrating that you have to compile plugins into caddy to use them.

I disagree, Caddy works great in Docker. See https://caddyserver.com/docs/running#docker-compose, and CDP is a project that autoconfigures Caddy from labels https://github.com/lucaslorentz/caddy-docker-proxy. Regarding plugins, it's super simple to write a Dockerfile to add plugins, we ship a builder image variant that can be used to compile in any plugins you want.

Caddy is more like a traditional web server. It does serve files while it’s not possible by default with traefik for example.
