Traefik or Caddy? Choose a Reverse Proxy by How You Deploy

Adding a service behind a reverse proxy should be routine. But the workflow changes depending on whether routes live in one proxy config or are discovered from your containers. That distinction is often more useful than trying to pick a universal winner between Traefik and Caddy. A good starting point: Caddy is often simpler when you have a small, fairly stable list of sites. Traefik is often a better fit when Docker services change frequently and you want routing to follow container metadata.
