We are also using the same lua-resty-auto-ssl it works great:). By the way, there are few rate limits imposed by letsencrypt like you can create 50 certificates per week. Here you can check it out letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits Just curious How you gonna tackle this thing?

Hey Sivaram! The 50 certs/week limit is per registered domain. For example, sandeep.dev and blog.sandeep.dev — in this case the registered domain is sandeep.dev and hence is subject to 50 certs/week limit. Normally, you can create 300 new orders per 3 hours — it is highly unlikely that we will hit that limit.

Can you clarify what you mean by create 300 new orders per 3 hours? What is the context?

Oh, I just read the LE rate limit link above. So, if I understand correctly, 300 new orders (300 registered domains) per account (hashnode account) per 3 hours translates to every 3 hours you can create 300 custom domain registration SSL certs.
