Caddy can absolutely do both of those things.

We are long-time fans of Caddy, preferring it over traefik + nginx especially for our docker-compose flows.. though it's fair to distinguish 'can' vs 'easy to do'

E.g., we can imagine writing or using a plugin to figure out some upcoming fancy sticky session routing logic based on routes/content vs just the user IP, but there are easier and more 'with the grain' solutions than with what Caddy exposes today, afaict

(Agreed tho: The reverse proxy module, for more typical cases, is awesome and we have been enjoying for years!)

Sticky sessions are supported: https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/directives/reverse_pr..., and yes it's pluggable so you could write your own LB policy. Very easy, just copy the code from Caddy's source to write your own plugin. Let us know if you need help.

Also yes, Caddy does service discovery if you use https://github.com/lucaslorentz/caddy-docker-proxy, configuration via Docker labels. Or you can use dynamic upstreams (built-in) https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/directives/reverse_pr... to use A/AAAA or SRV DNS records to load your list of upstreams.

`query [key] ` A+++, I missed when this got added, amazing!

(this basically solves the sticky shared chatroom websocket problem for us when routing to resources with gravity, in our case, multiuser data science notebooks!)

caddy-l4 still shows:

     This app is very capable and flexible, but is still in development. Please expect breaking changes.

And it does not seem to be really seeing many new commits recently, so it feels pretty much "beta" at this point.
