Introduction

A lightweight and extensible HTTP adapter, editable HTTP server, Webhook transformation, request relay platform.

Just route, filter, validate, transform, relay and response your HTTP requests.

Setup your HTTP server in 3 minutes by a few YAML configurations and a few TS/JS code snippets. Especially suitable for:

• HTTP adapter, such as transform one Webhook request to another
• Request relay, it could be HTTP proxy for another server
• Mock server, it could be a mock server for development
• Dynamic HTTP interface, as BFF(backend for frontend) or API Gateway

Features

• Dynamic request routing by configuration files, configurable and extensible runtime environment
• Easy to use YAML configuration files and GUI. Extremely convenient for request transformation
• Dynamic business logic based on dynamic Typescript/ECMAScript code and Templates
• Out of box Prometheus Metrics API and REST API for management
• Perfect Scalability with Docker and Kubernetes
• Great Performance since dynamic functions are compiled AOT (Ahead-of-Time)
• Plugin development make complex business logic being configured dynamically
