Choose Solutions
1. Reverse Proxy
Now using Caddy server.
Caddy can automate create https and setup proxy very easy.
TODO: Save Caddy certificates to s3.
2. Frontend Cache Server
In my knowledgement base, varnish is the best software.
3. Upload Server
I have to write it myself. So it easily fit my servers.
4. Storage Backend
The AWS Simple Storage Service (s3) is the cheapest way as I known.
