Gydro

A lightweight API Gateway with zero dependencies for JSON services written in Go. You can see it as a very simple alternative to Kong, Tyk or API Umbrella.

Gydro is still under development and should not be used in production.

Features

• No external databases needed
• Administration via RESTFul api
• Consumer auth by api key
• Round-robin load balancing per route between multiple backends
• Circuit breaker
• Persistent rate limiter
• Group based authorization

TODO

• Add JWT auth
• Add support for an external database to allow multi host deployments
• Allow some configuration in order to override hardcoded default parameters...
• Add some tests...

Under the hood

• Tiedot as datastore
• BuntDB for rate limiter middleware backend
• Gorilla Mux for api routing
• Oxy for forwarding and load balancing requests
• Echo for admin api
