Caddy as a poor man’s serverless solution - would it make sense?

Yep! That’s totally viable.

The templates directive is sorta that, it runs template functions that are defined in some file (HTML usually).

You essentially just need to write a request handler that runs what you want to run. It would need to be compiled in with Caddy, of course.

We have docs that describe how to write plugins/modules:

Does that answer your question? If not, could you elaborate further what you’re looking to do exactly?
