Nginx Introduces Native Support for Acme Protocol

In case people are wondering, this is the author of Caddy.

He’s curious where it’s being used outside of home labs and in small shops. Matt, it’s fantastic software and will only get better as go improves.

I used it in a proxy setup for ingress to kubernetes that’s overlayed across multiple clouds - for the government (prior admin, this admin killed it). I can’t tell you more information than that. Other than it goes WWW -> ALB -> Caddy Cluster * Other Cloud -> K8s Router -> K8s pod -> Fiber Golang service. :chefs kiss:

When a pod is registered to the K8s router, we fire off a request to the caddy cluster to register the route. Bam, we got traffic, we got TLS, we got magic. No downtime.

I almost forgot. Matt. We added a little sugar to Caddy for our cluster. Hashicorp's memberlist. So we can sync the records. It worked great. Sadly, I can't share it but it's rather trivial to implement.
