What if you could slap something like Caddy in front of any API and provide authentication, analytics even billing out of the box.

  - Billing
  - Authentication and Authorization using OAuth or JWT
  - Analytics/Metrics
  - Geo Location
  - TLS
  - HTTP2?
  - Image optimization

GoKit does that (http://gokit.io) – I heard about it on the changeling podcast [1]. Really cool set of scripts. Haven't used it personally though. There's also a changelog episode about Caddy [2], although I'm sure some of that will be outdated starting today.

GoKit looks awesome!
