35M Hot Dogs: Benchmarking Caddy vs. Nginx
*and memory safety*
This cannot be understated. Caddy is not written in C! And it can even run your NGINX configs. :) https://github.com/caddyserver/nginx-adapter

HAProxy is not affected by the HTTP/2 Rapid Reset Attack (CVE-2023-44487)
I wanted to try it out just now but hit a roadblock immediately - it cannot automatically obtain and maintain TLS certificates. You have to use an external client (e.g. acme.sh), set up a cron to check/renew them, and poke HAProxy to reload them if necessary. I'm way past doing this in 2023.

minexmr2.com updated to p2pool v3.1, monerod v0.18.2.0, and ready for Mar 18 p2pool (not monero) hardfork
I turn on 1 relatively cheap cloud server to process DNS, https and stratum connections and route them via haproxy to one of N miner servers described above.

HAProxy 2.7
With the recent discussions about memory safe languages, HAProxy is still surprisingly written in C [0].

35M Hot Dogs: Benchmarking Caddy vs. Nginx
It does not, because HAProxy does not perform any disk access at runtime and thus would be unable to persist the certificates anywhere. Disks accesses can be unpredictably slow and would block the entire thread which is not something you want when handling hundreds of thousands of requests per second.
See this issue and especially the comment from Lukas Tribus: https://github.com/haproxy/haproxy/issues/1864
