Now that pingora is open source, it might make a lot of sense to build that project on top of pingora. You'd get the battle tested quality that nginx is lauded

Now that pingora is open source, it might make a lot of sense to build that project on top of pingora. You'd get the battle tested quality that nginx is lauded for.
