cert-manager is a CRD (Custom Resource Definition) that dynamically generates TLS/SSL certificates for our applications using Let's Encrypt (although it also supports other issuers).

Install Certbot Certbot is a CLI that helps to obtain and maintain Let's Encrypt cert.

Let's Encrypt. CapRover automatically configures each service with nginx. SSL certificates (on multiple domains too) are just the click of a button.

you should look at free services like https://letsencrypt.org/

Let's Encrypt Let's Encrypt is a free, automated, and open certificate authority brought to you by the nonprofit Internet Security…letsencrypt.org

Today, you will learn how to deploy your node.js project to the internet via an Amazon Web Services EC2 Instance at little or no cost. You will learn how to create an AWS EC2 Instance and work in Amazon Linux 2, create and manage services with SYSTEMD, use NGINX as a reverse proxy and obtain an SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt to ensure your website is secure via HTTPS protocol. So let’s get to it and deploy your project to your EC2 Instance.

Luckily you can get the https easily. I’ve been using https://letsencrypt.org/ to get it encrypted. Was fast and free. No real barrier just a bunch of setup.

It is able to get them via requests to Let's Encrypt with acme-client. (See: How to conifugre OpenBSD acme-client).

3- What is the best free certificate , I have found many like : Cloudflare , letsencrypt.org , and node (I can create SSl certificate on it )

However, it's very unlikely that .NET developers will directly expose their Kestrel-based web apps to the internet. Typically, we use other popular web servers like Nginx, Traefik, and Caddy to act as a reverse-proxy in front of Kestrel for various reasons:

Not as good though. Case in point: https://github.com/traefik/traefik/issues/5472#issuecomment-... (that's just from this morning)

I'm speak objectively here. Of course, any built-in auto HTTPS that works (more or less) is better than none. Traefik uses an ACME library that was originally written for Caddy. After the original author left that project, Traefik team started maintaining it. Caddy's users' requirements exceeded what the library was capable of, but unfortunately there was friction in getting it to achieve our requirements. So I ended up writing a new ACME client library in Go and, together with upgrades in CertMagic (Caddy's auto-TLS lib), Caddy has the more flexible, robust, and capable auto-HTTPS functionality.

That is to say, not all auto-HTTPS functionalities are the same.

We'll use Traefik, an open source cloud native gateway that can plug into a Kubernetes cluster. It has the concept of "middleware" that can process API requests before passing them through to a backend. We can configuring a rate limit for all of our API endpoints by matching on the request path:

I did the same question here and here

Sadly there is currently no way of doing so. https://github.com/traefik/traefik/issues/6999

Traefik is another widely used system that has automatic configuration and offers support for more things like swarm/kubernetes/etc.

I have a webapp which I currently have deployed by running nginx in a container. Works as it should, however I am intersted in adding more observability to the webapp and found this reverse-proxy https://github.com/traefik/traefik which seems to expose some nice metrics which can be useful for observability.
