Amazing stuff dude. Every insightful stuff.

I am currently working on project to do similar thing to yours.

I am currently on aw and use alb, how do you cover load balancing between ecs containers.

Caddy team is working on v2, so are you guys planning to migrate to v2

Awesome article!

This is really interesting Sandeep. I am working on a side project kinda have same concept ( multi tenants have their own domain under same application) and this issue has been in my mind once it is in production. Locally I use docker with nginx-proxy lets encrypt companion container and been PIA for some time. I will definitely keep this post in my favs.

Very usefull story. Thanks for it!

Very interesting insights. Thanks for sharing, I definitely learned something new!
