caddyserver/caddy

This system is a modular, extensible HTTP server and reverse proxy that manages TLS certificates and acts as a PKI. It provides a comprehensive suite of HTTP handlers for routing, authentication, compression, and templating, alongside a flexible configuration system that supports both JSON and Caddyfile syntax. The architecture emphasizes pluggability, featuring a global eventing system, distributed session key management, and integrated monitoring via Prometheus metrics.

This period marks the development of Caddy v2, introducing a fully modular, pluggable architecture with a new Cobra-based CLI and a redesigned Caddyfile parser. The work focused on expanding the HTTP server capabilities with new handlers for templates, authentication, and request manipulation, while also adding robust TLS, logging, and compression features.
