I've built Routify, a global serverless API gateway
Hello HN, for the past couple of months I've been working on Routify and wanted to share the progress made so far and hopefully get your opinion/feedback on it. Routify is a global serverless API gateway which handles routing, authentication, rate limiting, load balancing, monitoring, transformation etc (with more coming soon). Routify makes it easier to manage and secure public APIs. It's distributed across many regions globally and acts as a proxy between your clients and your services. You can configure it through the interface in a matter of minutes (no code required). There are…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Hello HN, for the past couple of months I've been working on Routify and wanted to share the progress made so far and hopefully get your opinion/feedback on it. Routify is a global serverless API gateway which handles routing, authentication, rate limiting, load balancing, monitoring, transformation etc (with more coming soon). Routify makes it easier to manage and secure public APIs. It's distributed across many regions globally and acts as a proxy between your clients and your services. You can configure it through the interface in a matter of minutes (no code required). There are three main concepts: - Routes - paths that define different operations in your API (can be with dynamic/optional/catch-all parameters) - Backends - a cluster of endpoints where the requests will be proxied to - Middlewares - functions that are executed in a specific order in Routify edge proxies and define how requests are processed. You can use it as a reverse proxy, as a gateway between your APIs in different cloud providers, as a geo load balancer or simply as a monitoring tool for all requests going through your API. It also provides multi-region healthchecks and alerts based on the requests. So far, it has processed 100+ million requests without any issue. The average processing time for route matching and middleware processing is ~1ms (this does not include the network operations when proxying the requests). For those interested, Routify is in public beta and free to use at https://routify.to. You can check a demo of how it works here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDisClPv09A Thank you!

Hey HN - Today we launched a new globally available Serverless platform that thinks about simplicity and DX first and foremost. Let us know what you think - try it now for free. Traditional serverless functions are islands. Each function handles a request, does its work, and forgets everything. Need one function to talk to another? You’ll be making HTTP calls over the public internet, managing authentication between your own services, and dealing with unnecessary network latency for simple internal operations. This architectural limitation has held back serverless adoption for complex…

This is based on an approach I made for a very high performance message and video multiplexing server. The project died, but I'm glad I get to share the a basic version with some http test code now. I admit this is the second time I've tried to show this off here today; I posted earlier but it got lost when no-one was watching :(
