Using Caddy to serve React app - is it possible to modify Caddyfile to proxy requests to backend?

Given I have a Node backend called backend running at backend.railway.internal, can I modify this Caddyfile to proxy the requests there?

I've been trying several approaches but none worked.

Use case:

1. From React app do request to /api/users

2. Proxy rewrites from "https://frontend.url.railwy/api/users" to "backend.railway.internal/users"

Right now I'm passing public backend url to frontend to construct the URL

I've been using this template: https://github.com/brody192/vite-react-template

Yes you absolutely could, but you need to ask yourself if the added complexity is necessary? is there anything wrong with having your frontend call the backend domina?
