    Makes sense ... most languages have solid libraries to work with HTTP, which can eliminate the need for a third-party standalone proxy. A DIY solution sounds nice as it could be customized to meet any specific (and/or crazy :-p) features required.

    Here's a C# project in the same vein: [1].

    Great writeup. Do you plan to update your Kamal handbook to version 2?

    I'm currently using Traefik for compression (gzip, brotli, …) does Kamal-Proxy handle that as well or do Rails apps handle compression somewhere else?

    Does it support http/3?
