Show HN: An open-source API Gateway for front end applications (github.com/gateweaver)
1 point by gladwindos 19 days ago | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment
Hello Everyone,

I'd like to share a project I've been working on: an open-source API gateway that simplifies the integration of frontend applications with third-party APIs, particularly for those APIs that require confidential handling of API keys, without the need of developing your own backend.

This gateway utilizes an Express server, which can be configured through a YAML file. It allows you to establish proxy endpoints that manage requests to external APIs, incorporates secret keys into these requests to safeguard them from exposure on the frontend, and supports various policies including CORS, JWT authentication, API authentication, and rate limiting.

I'm eager to receive feedback and perspectives from the community regarding this project, thanks!
