The name "Caddy" refers both to a helper for tedious tasks, and a way to organize multiple parts into a simplified system.[3] At its core, Caddy is an extensible platform for deploying long-running services ("apps") using a single, unified configuration that can be updated on-line with a REST API.[4] Official Caddy distributions ship with a set of standard modules which include HTTP server, TLS automation, and PKI apps.[5] It is best known for its automatic HTTPS features.[6][7]
