-## 🔧 Key Features
+## Key Features
 - **Dynamic Config Reloads** — Upstreams can be updated live via API, no restart required.
- **TLS Termination** — Built-in OpenSSL support.
+- **Autoload of certificates** — Automatically loads new/changed certificates from a folder, without a restart.
-    - **Automatic loading of certificates** — Automatically reads and loads certificates from a folder, without a restart.
+- **Let’s Encrypt Certificates** — Ordering and renewal of SSL/TLS certificates via the HTTP-01 challenge.
 - **Upstreams TLS detection** — Aralez will automatically detect if upstreams uses secure connection.
- **Built in rate limiter** — Limit requests to server, by setting up upper limit for requests per seconds, per virtualhost.
+- **Built in rate limiter** — Globar or route limit requests to upstreams.
    - **Global rate limiter** — Set rate limit for all virtualhosts.
    - **Per path rate limiter** — Set rate limit for specific paths. Path limits will override global limits.
 - **Authentication** — Supports Basic Auth, API tokens, and JWT verification.
    - **Basic Auth**
    - **API Key** via `x-api-key` header
    - **JWT Auth**, with tokens issued by Aralez itself via `/jwt` API
-        - ⬇️ See below for examples and implementation details.
+    - **Forward Auth**, Sends requests to an authentication server.
- **Load Balancing Strategies**
+- **Load Balancing** Round-robin, health checks, optional sticky sessions.
    - Round-robin
    - Failover with health checks
    - Sticky sessions via cookies
 - **Unified Port** — Serve HTTP and WebSocket traffic over the same connection.
 - **Built in file server** — Build in minimalistic file server for serving static files, should be added as upstreams for public access.
- **Memory Safe** — Created purely on Rust.
+- **Upstream Providers:**
 - **High Performance** — Built with [Pingora](https://github.com/cloudflare/pingora) and tokio for async I/O.
 ## 🌍 Highlights
 - ⚙️ **Upstream Providers:**
    - `file` Upstreams are declared in config file.
    - `consul` Upstreams are dynamically updated from Hashicorp Consul.
- 🔁 **Hot Reloading:** Modify upstreams on the fly via `upstreams.yaml` — no restart needed.
+    - `kubernetes` Upstreams are dynamically updated from kubernetes api server.
- 🔮 **Automatic WebSocket Support:** Zero config — connection upgrades are handled seamlessly.
+- **Auto WebSocket Support:** WS connection upgrades are handled automatically.
- 🔮 **Automatic GRPC Support:** Zero config, Requires `ssl` to proxy, gRPC handled seamlessly.
+- **Auto gRPC Support:** gRPC detected and handled automatically.
- 🔮 **Upstreams Session Stickiness:** Enable/Disable Sticky sessions globally.
+- **Header Injection:** Global and per-route server/client headers injection.
- 🔐 **TLS Termination:** Fully supports TLS for upstreams and downstreams.
+- **Remote Config Push:** Lightweight HTTP API to update configs from CI/CD or other systems.
- 🛡️ **Built-in Authentication** Basic Auth, JWT, API key.
+- **Memory Safe** — 100% Rust.
- 🧠 **Header Injection:** Global and per-route header configuration.
+- **High Performance** — Built with [Pingora](https://github.com/cloudflare/pingora) and tokio for async I/O.
 - 🧪 **Health Checks:** Pluggable health check methods for upstreams.
 - 🛰️ **Remote Config Push:** Lightweight HTTP API to update configs from CI/CD or other systems.

 ### 🌐 `upstreams.yaml`
 - `provider`: `file` or `consul`
 - File-based upstreams define:
    - Hostnames and routing paths
    - Backend servers (load-balanced)
    - Optional request headers, specific to this upstream
 - Global headers (e.g., CORS) apply to all proxied responses
 - Optional authentication (Basic, API Key, JWT)

 ## About binaries
 **glibc** builds are in general faster, but have few, basic, Glibc dependencies:
 **musl** builds are 100% portable, static compiled binaries and have zero system dependencies.
 In general musl builds have a little less performance.
 The most intensive tests shows 107k-110k requests per second on **Glibc** binaries against 97k-100k **Musl** ones.
 For running **Aralez** on very old hardware, CPUs prior Haswell, (launched before 2013) use `aralez-x86_64-compat-*.gz`
 For getting the best performance on newer hardware use `aralez-x86_64-*.gz`.

+## Running the Proxy
 In general **glibc** builds are working faster, but have few, basic, system dependencies for example :
 ```
 	linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffeea33b000)
 	libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007f09e7377000)
 	libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007f09e6320000)
 	libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f09e613f000)
 	/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f09e73b1000)
 ```
 These are common to any Linux systems, so the binary should work on almost any Linux system.
 **musl** builds are 100% portable, static compiled binaries and have zero system depencecies.
 In general musl builds have a little less performance.
 The most intensive tests shows 107k-110k requests per second on **Glibc** binaries against 97k-100k **Musl** ones.
