Wait, no edge cache, just one node with SQLite db?

For a relatively low-traffic site like Lobster's, yeah I'm not surprised they don't need anything crazy. SQLite is really efficient and modern hardware is really fast.
I don't think SQLite is particularly optimized for modern hardware. It's just crazy efficient with a regression test suite many projects wish they could have.
Modern hardware mostly benefits from the optimizations made for older hardware too, so I'm not really sure what your point is.
Caddy does cache a portion of the traffic, and what it can't cache makes its way to rails.
