Snow Owl: Reverse Proxy & API Gateway for easy network management

Hi all, I'm David and we're building Snow Owl, a reverse proxy & API Gateway. At previous companies, we realized network complexity grew exponentially with increasing traffic, and devs wanted a simple solution to manage their http routing, especially for APIs and microservices. Frequent use cases include http request observability for rapid debugging, release testing (i.e. live traffic mirroring to blue/green deployments), and easy routing for CCPA/GDPR compliance. We'll be posting here as we build, but our design principles thus far have been proritizing easy custom routing via a rules engine, request level monitoring for rapid downtime debugging, and a SaaS-based environment for minimal setup and maintenance. Looking forward to participating!

Your focus on easy custom routing via a rules engine and request-level monitoring for quick debugging is spot on. And the live traffic mirroring for blue/green deployments? Genius move for release testing! The mention of CCPA/GDPR compliance caught my eye too - it's becoming more critical every day, and having easy routing options for compliance is a must. I checked out your link at http://pyproxy.com/?utm-source=c... - really liked the simplicity in the design and the features you highlighted. I've been dealing with proxy servers for IP resources lately, and it's always a bit of a puzzle. Your project seems like it could make things way smoother.

Hi David, it's great to see you're addressing the challenges of network complexity with Snow Owl, a reverse proxy and API Gateway. Your emphasis on simplifying HTTP routing for APIs and microservices, along with features like http request observability, live traffic mirroring for blue/green deployments, and compliance routing for CCPA/GDPR, sounds like a promising solution. Your design principles, especially the focus on easy custom routing, request-level monitoring, and a SaaS-based environment, align well with the needs of developers and businesses in today's fast-paced digital landscape. We'll definitely keep an eye on your progress and look forward to seeing how Snow Owl evolves to meet these demands. Also, integrating with Steam Community Proxy could open up exciting possibilities for your service in the gaming community. Good luck with your project!
