I agree that this would be the best solution. Right now Let's Encrypt
relies on CDN termination for DDoS resistance and faster mitigation of
some front-end vulnerabilities. I'd be interested to hear from other CAs
(currently I think only SSLMate is participating on list): Do you have a
CDN in front of your API or not?
