Nginx is the web server equivalent of programming languages with fibers (in a good way.)

Is there anything that competes/a "next Nginx"?

Caddy is written in Go, and make use of native fibers/green threads/goroutines.

Also has builtin letsencrypt automation and generally easier configuration, so for small sites it might be a better option than nginx.

I think their docs says that unless you expect to scale to multiple x 10 000 requests / second then it caddy might be worth trying.

I went with it for the test networks at my job and liked it a lot.

And then when you do, you can use Nginx to reverse proxy N Caddy instances!

I haven't followed development, but I do remember hearing some rumblings about Cherokee back in the day. [0]

I think it depends on whether you consider nginx primarily a reverse proxy or a web server.
