Malcolm

You tell Malcolm a mapping, it'll store it and a proxy'd connection

Quickstart

1. Git clone
2. make build

FAQ

• Q: Why did you make this?

• A: We use an industry standard proxy at Railway. The control plane/config language leaves to be desired IMO. Wanted to see if I could whip one up in a few hours. This is the result.

• Q: Is this production ready?

• A: Absolutely not
