Caddy – a modern web server (vs. Nginx)

I like caddy, but the dreamhost benchmark re apache vs nginx isn't really telling, as it doesn't mention fundamental apache config properties. I'm assuming they were benchmarking an unoptimized MPM/prefork setup, but you can use event-based request processing (and other process models) with apache as well. There's nothing magical with nginx.

I'd also like to see a benchmark vs. H2O which seems to have the most advanced HTTP/2 support right now (its running the nghttp2 web site for some time now).

Any experiences with running h2o on production sites? The documentation is a bit lacking sometimes, luckily the code is well written.

No experience with h2o yet. I'm not keen on having to pickup Ruby which would be just one more thing to take care of for me.

The code is mainly written in C (https://github.com/h2o/h2o) with some Perl testing. The Mruby for small (header/push) logic isn't that bad, and not bad in terms of performance either (https://h2o.examp1e.net/configure/mruby.html), although I'm also not a Ruby fan.

I'd be interested in such experiences, too. H2O look promising at first sight.
