ferryman

Ferryman is intended to be a HTTP/HTTPS Loadbalancer with the following features:

Version 1 will be achieved if :

• [] TCP/IP Connection pooling.
• [] URI Rewriting.
• [] Sticky Session Support.
• [] Response Body content processing (ie chaging a resource host from an intenral uri to external uri.).
• [] Route failure fallback support.
• [] DSL to add routing/rules using configuration.
• [] Hot config/rule reloads.
• [] Caching of http responses.
• [] Support for websockets.
• [] Generating NginX configuration.

It is currently in development as a pet project can hopefully add some changes.
