    Openresty with a few Nginx modules and Lua scripts can go a long way for many use-cases mentioned:

    - ModSecurity for WAF: https://github.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity

    - L7 Rate limiting: https://github.com/openresty/lua-resty-limit-traffic

    - Cache: https://github.com/ledgetech/ledge . Or use varnish which gives you VCL for high configurability

    - CDN: https://github.com/taythebot/lightpath . This project seems to be a WIP which you can use as a starting point for your needs. You will also need to find good enough "edge" locations for your CDN.

    Similarly, HAProxy does a lot of stuff with the correct config and is also extensible using Lua:
