Configure in minutes
1. Define runtime
Create config.yaml for listeners, Pingora tuning, and ACME storage.
yaml
http:
- 0.0.0.0:8080
config_dir: ./config
pingora:
daemon: false
threads: 42. Add services & routes
Describe backends, plugins, and routing rules inside config/.
yaml
services:
- name: backend
service_type: http
endpoints:
- ip: 127.0.0.1
port: 3000
routes:
- route:
type: host
value: localhost
paths:
- path:
- /
- /{*path}
service:
name: backend3. Run it
Bring everything online and hot reload as you iterate.
bash
nylon run -c config.yamlBuilt for real workloads
API gateways
Inject auth, rate limiting, caching, and observability logic without touching upstream services.
Edge platforms & SaaS
Serve thousands of domains with automated TLS, granular routing, and templated configs.
Real-time applications
Harness WebSocket callbacks, broadcast rooms, and streaming response filters.
Migration buffers
Rewrite payloads, split traffic, and de-risk backend migrations with per-route middleware.

log.Printf("%s %s -> %d (%dms)", req.Method(), req.Path(), res.Status(), res.Duration())

})
})Go SDK is available today. Additional language SDKs (Rust, Zig, …) are in active development.
