Could you build this?

Partial A basic reverse proxy in V is vibe-codeable, but a Caddy-class server needs production-grade TLS, automatic certificate management (ACME), and performance hardening, which require systems and security expertise.

What it would actually take: The core is an HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 reverse proxy with a config parser and hot reload. The hard pieces are a secure TLS stack, ACME certificate issuance and renewal, and robustness against malicious input. Building it well requires systems programming and security expertise, plus extensive testing.
