It's interesting almost no web server provides an easy way to deal with multi-tenant multi-domain architectures in a good way that includes automatic SSL.

Caddy is the closest, but still not near enough.

There is this small segment of the market that we operate in that requires thousands of TLS connected domains to be hosted behind a dynamic backend. It's services like Tumblr, Wordpress.com, or any other hosting service where you can get a "custom domain" to point to your own blog or site.

NGINX - No.

Apache - Nope.

Caddy - Can do (but need lots of workarounds)

Envoy - Nope.

Everyone focuses on a few hand-coded domains and no automatic TLS. Maybe this part of the market is too small anyway. Sigh.
