rpxy: A simple and fast reverse-proxy for multiple host names, written in pure Rust
WIP Project
Introduction
rpxy [ahr-pik-see] is an (currently experimental) implementation of simple and lightweight reverse-proxy, which is based on hyper, rustls and tokio, i.e., written in pure Rust. Our rpxy allows to route multiple host names to appropriate backend application servers while serving TLS connections.
This project is still work-in-progress. But it is already working in some production environments and serves numbers of domain names. Furthermore it dramatically outperforms NGINX and Caddy in the setting of very simple HTTP reverse-proxy scenario (See ./bench directory).
rpxy provides the sanitization of TLS's SNI (server name indication) in default by correctly binding a certificate used to establish an underlying TLS connection with backend application specified in the overlaid HTTP HOST header (or URL in Request line). Additionally, as a somewhat unstable feature, our rpxy can handle the brand-new HTTP/3 connection thanks to quinn and hyperium/h3.
