I love Caddy. Correct me if I am wrong but this looks like a hosted Caddy primarily for Load Balancing ? What about things like SSL termination or general reverse proxy capabilities ?

I would be interested in a hosted caddy cluster that lets me configure everything that Caddy provides without needing to fiddle with Caddyfiles or its API directly.

Our goal is actually not to hide the configs behind a bunch of partial UI elements you get full control of your proxy. All your caddy configs should work out of the box. For SSL termination we use acme and you can use the dns method (let us know if you dns provider isn't in the plugins and we'll add it)

Pretty much the only thing we add is a storage layer for your certs so you avoid the acme rate limit for multi-region deployments

This addresses questions I had about certificate generation across nodes/regions.

Slightly off topic, but something nice about Caddy is that it automatically falls back on ZeroSSL (if you have an email address defined) when you hit letsencrypt rate limits. I have a case where more certificates for a root domain are needed than LE is capable of providing, and this fallback solves for the rate limit problem seamlessly.
