<h1>Caddy</h1>

<p><a href="https://caddyserver.com/">Caddy</a> is a relatively new HTTP server created

in 2015 and written in <a href="https://golang.org/">Go</a>. The server's philosophy

and design emphasize HTTPS-everywhere along with the HTTP/2 protocol.</p>

<h2>How can Caddy be used with Python deployments?</h2>

<p>Caddy can be used both for testing during local development or as part

of a production deployment as an HTTP server and a reverse proxy with

the <a href="https://caddyserver.com/docs/proxy">proxy directive</a>.</p>
