Show HN: Sentinel – a Pingora-based reverse proxy (inspired by River)
I’d been watching River (Pingora-based) and hoping it would mature, because I think Rust + Pingora (from Cloudflare) is a really solid foundation for a future-proof reverse proxy. Progress stayed quiet, so I started building the “practical reverse proxy layer” on top of Pingora myself: config/routing + operational defaults + a way to plug in extra request/response logic without patching the core.
Sentinel: https://github.com/raskell-io/sentinel
River: https://github.com/memorysafety/river
Quick try:
curl -fsSL https://getsentinel.raskell.io | sh
If you’ve operated proxies: what’s one default you’d change to make them less surprising (timeouts, retries, header handling, etc.)?
