# Gazan, Reverse proxy, service mesh based on Cloudflare's Pingora
Built on Rust, on top of **Cloudflares battle-tested Pingora engine**, **Gazan** delivers world-class performance, security, and scalability — right out of the box.
**Pingora** powers millions of requests per second at Cloudflares edge, and now you can harness its core in your own infrastructure. This project brings that power into a lean and flexible reverse proxy with dynamic upstream configuration and
automatic websocket support.
---
## 🌍 Highlights
- ⚙️ **Upstream Providers:** Supports `file`-based static upstreams, dynamic service discovery via `Consul`, and upcoming `Kubernetes` integration
- 🔁 **Hot Reloading:** Modify upstreams on the fly via `upstreams.yaml` — no restart needed
- 🔮 **Automatic WebSocket Support:** No special config required — connection upgrades are handled seamlessly
- 🔐 **TLS Termination:** Fully supports TLS for incoming and upstream traffic
- 🛡️ **Built-in Auth Support:** (Basic and API Key ready)
- 🧠 **CORS & Header Injection:** Global and per-route header configuration
- 🧪 **Health Checks:** Pluggable health check methods for upstreams
- 🛰️ **Remote Config Push:** Lightweight HTTP API to update configs from CI/CD or other systems

## 🛠 Configuration Overview
### 🔧 `main.yaml`
- `proxy_address_http`: `0.0.0.0:6193` (HTTP listener)
- `proxy_address_tls`: `0.0.0.0:6194` (TLS listener, optional)
- `config_address`: `0.0.0.0:3000` (HTTP API for remote config push)
- `upstreams_conf`: `etc/upstreams.yaml` (location of upstreams config)
- `log_level`: `info` (verbosity of logs)
- `hc_method`: `HEAD`, `hc_interval`: `2s` (upstream health checks)
- Other defaults: thread count, keep-alive pool size, etc.
### 🌐 `upstreams.yaml`
- `provider`: `file` or `consul`
- File-based upstreams define:
- Hostnames and routing paths
- Backend servers (load-balanced)
- Optional request headers
- Optional TLS for upstreams
- Global headers (e.g., CORS) apply to all proxied responses
- Optional authentication (Basic, API Key) — currently commented for example
---
## 🔌 Running the Proxy
```bash
./gazan -c path/to/main.yaml
```
Replace `APP_BINARY` with your compiled binary.
---
## 💡 Example
A sample `upstreams.yaml` entry:
```yaml
myhost.mydomain.com:
paths:
"/":
ssl: false
headers:
- "X-Some-Thing:Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
- "X-Proxy-From:Hopaaaaaaaaaaaar"
servers:
- "127.0.0.1:8000"
- "127.0.0.2:8000"
```
This means:
- Requests to `myhost.mydomain.com/` will be load balanced to those servers.
- You can choose any path, deep nested paths are supported, the best match will be chosen
- Additional headers will be injected into the request.
- TLS is disabled for upstreams (but can be enabled).
---
## 🔄 Hot Reload
- Changes to `upstreams.yaml` are applied immediately.
- No need to restart the proxy — just save the file.
---
## 🔐 TLS Support
To enable TLS for Proxy server: Currently only OpenSSL is supported, working on Boringssl and Rustls
1. Set `proxy_address_tls` in `main.yaml`
2. Provide `tls_certificate` and `tls_key_file`
---
## 📡 Remote Config API
You can push new `upstreams.yaml` over HTTP to `config_address` (`:3000` by default). Useful for CI/CD automation or remote config updates.
```bash
curl -XPOST --data-binary @./etc/upstreams.txt 127.0.0.1:3000/conf
```

## 🧠 Notes
- Uses Pingora under the hood for efficiency and flexibility.
- Designed for edge proxying, internal routing, or hybrid cloud scenarios.
- WebSocket upgrade support is fully automatic.
