CoreDNS is a DNS server that started as a fork of [Caddy](https://github.com/mholt/caddy/). It has
the same model: it chains plugins.
CoreDNS (written in Go) chains [plugins](https://coredns.io/plugins). Each plugin performs a DNS

## Status
CoreDNS can be used as an authoritative nameserver for your domains. All in all, CoreDNS should be
able to provide you with enough functionality to replace parts of BIND 9, Knot, NSD or PowerDNS and
SkyDNS. Most documentation is in the source and blog articles can be [found
here](https://coredns.io). If you do want to use CoreDNS in production, please let us know.
