Go Dispatch Proxy: Open-Source API Gateway & Proxy

An open-source API gateway and proxy written in Go, facilitating path-based routing, rate limiting, and more for multiple backend services.

What is Go dispatch proxy?

Go Dispatch Proxy is an open source API gateway and proxy server written in Go language. It facilitates routing HTTP/HTTPS requests to multiple backend services based on the request path, headers, query parameters etc. Some of the key features include:

• Path-based routing to map request paths to backend services
• Rate limiting based on client IP, path, headers etc.
• Pluggable architecture to add custom authentication, load balancing logic
• Support for gRPC backends along with HTTP
• Middleware pipeline for custom logic
• Metrics and monitoring endpoints
• Designed to run at edge close to clients

As an API gateway, Go Dispatch proxy enables decoupling API consumers from complex backend systems. It handles cross cutting concerns like security, rate limiting, monitoring at the edge itself instead of burdening the backend services. The lightweight and high performance design makes it well suited for modern cloud native microservices architectures.
