Last position:
Taxi Lotte and Flughafentransfer Osnabrück
MOBILITY | BOOKING PLATFORM AND MOBILE APPS
The need: Two transport brands needed different booking experiences without maintaining separate systems for orders, drivers and prices.
What we built: A shared platform connects two branded websites, customer and driver apps, and an operator portal. Customers can book rides or airport transfers and follow a driver on a live map. The operator portal brings dispatch and statistics together. Stripe supports payments.

- Booking and ride workflows
- FastAPI and PostgreSQL
- Shared backend and data
- Operator portal
- Dispatch and statistics
Technology: Next.js, React Native / Expo, Python / FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Stripe, Leaflet / OpenStreetMap
Business value: Bookings from two brands feed a common operational system while each brand keeps its own customer experience.

About the technology
What Caddy does
Caddy is an open-source web server and reverse proxy built for secure, simple web delivery. Its automatic HTTPS, readable configuration and built-in certificate management help teams publish websites, APIs and internal services with less operational overhead. Caddy can serve static files, terminate TLS, route requests and balance traffic from one service.
Core configuration
Caddy uses a Caddyfile for concise, human-readable setups, while its JSON configuration API supports automation and precise control. Strong professionals work with site blocks, matchers, handlers, encoders, transports and upstream policies. They also understand certificate issuers, DNS challenges, redirects, headers, access logs and graceful reloads.
Ecosystem and tooling
Caddy often sits beside the tools that run and monitor modern services:
- Docker and Docker Compose deployments
- Kubernetes ingress and service routing
- Cloud load balancers and DNS providers
- Prometheus-compatible metrics and centralized logs
- Go modules and custom Caddy plugins
Its Go foundation matters when a project needs an extension beyond standard modules. Specialists may also connect Caddy with CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code and container registries.
Typical projects
Companies use Caddy for public websites, API gateways, SaaS applications, staging environments and private networks. It can front Node.js, Python, PHP, Java and Go services, route traffic across containers, and provide HTTPS for development or production systems. In Germany, teams may use it across ecommerce, software, media and industrial applications without changing the underlying application stack.
When freelance expertise helps
A specialist is valuable when a migration from Nginx or Apache must avoid downtime, when certificate automation is failing, or when routing rules have become difficult to maintain. Other signals include inconsistent environments, unclear proxy timeouts, missing security headers and limited visibility into upstream failures. Remote collaboration works well for configuration and deployment work; on-site access can help with network, hardware or regulated environments in Germany.
What strong professionals deliver
Look for practical experience with TLS, HTTP, DNS, Linux, containers and application networking, not only familiarity with a Caddyfile. A strong professional explains trade-offs against Nginx, Apache and Traefik, tests configuration changes, documents rollback paths and verifies behavior under failure. They should leave behind reproducible deployment files, clear logs, sensible access controls and a maintainable handover.
Frequently asked questions
Curious about Caddy? Here are the answers that come up again and again.
Caddy is used to serve websites, reverse-proxy applications, terminate TLS and route traffic between clients and services. Companies commonly place it in front of APIs, containerized applications, internal tools and static sites.
Caddy prioritizes simple configuration and automatic HTTPS, while Nginx offers a broad, mature ecosystem for high-control proxying and Apache is known for its module system and long history in web hosting. The right choice depends on existing operations, required modules, traffic patterns and the team’s ability to maintain the setup.
Caddy can handle reverse proxying, TLS termination and load balancing for many applications, but it does not automatically replace every managed cloud service or Kubernetes ingress design. A professional should assess availability, network boundaries, health checks, scaling and certificate ownership before recommending a replacement.
A strong Caddy specialist should also understand Linux, DNS, TLS, HTTP, networking and application runtimes. Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, cloud infrastructure, observability and security headers are useful when Caddy is part of a larger delivery system.
Caddy is approachable for a basic website, but complex routing, migrations and production incidents require deeper operational judgment. Evaluate whether the professional has handled certificate failures, proxy chains, upgrades, access controls and rollback planning in systems similar to yours.
Caddy configuration, testing and deployment can usually be handled remotely through version-controlled files, secure access and documented release processes. On-site collaboration in Germany may still be useful when the work involves private networks, physical infrastructure, restricted systems or close coordination with an operations team.
Ask the Caddy professional to explain request matching, certificate renewal, upstream failure behavior and configuration reloads in your context. Quality work includes tested configuration, secure defaults, useful logs and metrics, documented dependencies, a rollback path and clear ownership after handover.
Caddy is suitable for production when its configuration, certificates, upstream services and operational limits are designed and monitored properly. It can serve demanding workloads, but suitability depends on architecture, redundancy, deployment discipline and the requirements of the application rather than on the web server alone.
