Congratulations to Let’s Encrypt.

I would also like to do a shoutout to software like Caddy Server which automatically provisions with TLS using Let’s Encrypt. Doing this removes another barrier to adoption.

Thank you for the shoutout! Both projects have definitely been a community effort. There are many people and sponsors to thank.

I've worked on both Let's Encrypt and Caddy. Indeed, the goal with Caddy is to set the gold standard for other software to follow. I'd say Let's Encrypt does the heavy lifting in this space, though. It's truly a remarkable team and infrastructure.

I’d add Traefik to that list! Maybe not quite as simple to get up and running as Caddy with LE but still pretty smooth.
