It's quite rare that your webserver will be the bottleneck at this point. Your app will be the bottleneck much more often.

I don't think the difference in performance between Nginx and Caddy would mean you need 3 servers versus 1 of the same spec. But of course, you need to run your own benchmarks on your own config to determine which is best _for you_.

Benchmarks cannot be done generally, because the config drives so much of what happens at runtime, and everyone has different needs.

I guess I'm too used to markdown :) thanks
