Caddy
The Ultimate Server makes your sites more secure, reliable, and scalable.
Caddy is an open-source web server written in Go that automatically obtains, renews, and manages TLS certificates for all hosted sites by default. It supports reverse proxying, static file serving, load balancing, and an internal PKI suite, all configurable via a RESTful JSON API or the human-friendly Caddyfile format. Caddy is designed for enterprise-scale deployments and is noted for its strong security defaults meeting PCI, HIPAA, and NIST compliance requirements.
Caddy automatically provisions and renews TLS certificates via ACME protocols and supports a modular plugin architecture configured through a JSON API or Caddyfile.
