General info, project goals, status

[austindrenski]

I'm working on some reverse proxy middleware for my day job and wanted to get an understanding of where this project is at—and where it is going—to see if there is potential to get involved.

After looking through the samples/unit tests/issues, I have a few questions about the goal of the project and its current status.

Project goals

#20 from April 2016:

This implements a reverse proxy for forwarding incoming requests to back-end services

From the samples and unit tests, it looks like this middleware would be configured for an edge server that would pass requests back to one port on one host identified by the ProxyOptions class.

If this is the case, how would one hook multiple back-end services into the edge server?

For example. given services A, B, and C running on different hosts—and for that matter listening on different ports—how would I use the current project to hook them into a single endpoint

Project status

I can see there are a handful of active contributors and a pair of lengthy PRs in progress. But the last Nuget package went out 10 months ago.

Does the project team see this repo as moving toward a production version, or is this for experimentation? If it is moving toward production, is there a target for a 1.0 package release? Or a list of features/issues that need to be built/fixed before then?
