Kong - The Microservice API Gateway

•    Lua

---

Kong is a cloud-native, fast, scalable, and distributed Microservice Abstraction Layer (also known as an API Gateway, API Middleware or in some cases Service Mesh). Backed by the battle-tested NGINX with a focus on high performance, Kong was made available as an open-source platform in 2015. Under active development, Kong is used in production at thousands of organizations from startups, Global 5000 and Government organizations.

Trafik - A Modern Reverse Proxy

•    Go

---

Træfik (pronounced like traffic) is a modern HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer made to deploy microservices with ease. It supports several backends (Docker, Swarm mode, Kubernetes, Marathon, Consul, Etcd, Rancher, Amazon ECS, and a lot more) to manage its configuration automatically and dynamically.

jwtproxy - An HTTP-Proxy that adds AuthN through JWTs

•    Go

---

The JWT proxy is intended to be used as a complementary service for authenticating, and possibly authorizing requests made between services. There is a forward proxy component, which can be configured to sign outgoing requests to another service, and a reverse proxy component, which can be used to authenticate incoming requests from another service.The JWT forward proxy is used to sign outgoing requests with a JWT using a private key.

ngrok - Introspected tunnels to localhost

•    Go

---

ngrok is a reverse proxy that creates a secure tunnel between from a public endpoint to a locally running web service. ngrok captures and analyzes all traffic over the tunnel for later inspection and replay. You can give this URL to anyone to allow them to try out a web site you're developing without doing any deployment.

fabio - A fast, modern, zero-conf load balancing HTTP(S) router for deploying microservices managed by consul

•    Go

---

fabio is a fast, modern, zero-conf load balancing HTTP(S) and TCP router for deploying applications managed by consul.Register your services in consul, provide a health check and fabio will start routing traffic to them. No configuration required. Deployment, upgrading and refactoring has never been easier. It integrates with Consul, Vault, Amazon ELB, Amazon API Gateway and more.

multitor - A tool that lets you create multiple TOR instances with a load-balancing traffic between them by HAProxy

•    Shell

---

A tool that lets you create multiple TOR instances with a load-balancing traffic between them by HAProxy. It's provides one single endpoint for clients. Support socks protocol and http-proxy servers: polipo, privoxy and hpts. In addition, you can view previously running TOR processes and create a new identity for all or selected processes. Multitor was created with the aim of initialize many TOR processes as quickly as possible. I could use many instances for my daily use programs (web browsers, messangers and other). In addition, I was looking for a tool that would increase anonymity when conducting penetration tests and testing the security of infrastructure.

toxy - Hackable HTTP proxy for resiliency testing and simulated network conditions

•    Javascript

---

Hackable HTTP proxy to simulate server failure scenarios, resiliency and unexpected network conditions, built for node.js.It was mainly designed for failure resistance testing, when toxy becomes particularly useful in order to cover fault tolerance and resiliency capabilities of a system, especially in disruption-tolerant networks and service-oriented architectures, where toxy may act as MitM proxy among services in order to inject failure.

YXORP - Reverse proxy for the HTTP protocol

•    C

---

yxorp is a reverse proxy and application level firewall for the HTTP protocol. It can do all kinds of checks on HTTP traffic, and is highly configurable. It also has other functions that are useful for a web frontend, like load balancing. It aims to conform to RFC 2616, RFC 2518, RFC 2109 and other applicable standards.

Envoy - C++ front/service proxy

•    C++

---

As on the ground microservice practitioners quickly realize, the majority of operational problems that arise when moving to a distributed architecture are ultimately grounded in two areas: networking and observability. It is simply an orders of magnitude larger problem to network and debug a set of intertwined distributed services versus a single monolithic application.

Skipper - An HTTP router and reverse proxy for service composition

•    Go

---

Skipper is an HTTP router and reverse proxy for service composition. It's designed to handle >100k HTTP route definitions with detailed lookup conditions, and flexible augmentation of the request flow with filters. It can be used out of the box or extended with custom lookup, filter logic and configuration sources.Skipper provides a default executable command with a few built-in filters. However, its primary use case is to be extended with custom filters, predicates or data sources.
