Application Infrastructure
Easegress, an open source cloud native traffic orchestration system that routes, load balances and secures HTTP traffic through declarative pipelines.
Overview
Easegress is a free, open source traffic orchestration system for HTTP services. It sits in front of your applications as a programmable gateway, matching incoming requests against declarative routing rules and passing each one through a pipeline of composable filters that can proxy to backend pools, load balance across them, validate credentials, rewrite headers, apply rate limiting and circuit breaking, and mirror or mock traffic. Configuration is declarative and applied at runtime with the egctl command line client against a REST administration API, so routes and policies change without restarts or redeployments, and the whole gateway runs as a single binary with an embedded configuration store rather than a cluster of moving parts. It suits teams that want an API gateway, reverse proxy and traffic management layer they can define as configuration and version alongside their services.
Why the cloudimg image
cloudimg delivers Easegress fully installed under systemd with a working gateway you can send traffic through the moment the instance boots: a health probe, a demonstration route that is genuinely proxied and round robin load balanced across two backends, and an authenticated administration route. The image is secure by default. The administration API and its embedded configuration store are bound to loopback only, so nothing administrative is reachable from the network, and the one administration path that is exposed is gated by a credential generated uniquely on each machine's first boot, so no secret is ever shared between instances. The gateway runs as an unprivileged system user, the egctl client is on the path for immediate use, and every deployment carries a paired deployment guide and 24/7 support.
Common uses
- Front your services with an API gateway and reverse proxy
