BRelay - A Buffering Reverse Proxy in Go

NGINX and HAProxy are often far too heavy to install, configure, and maintain for simple use cases.

All I needed was a simple buffering reverse proxy with interval retry semantics, so I figured I'd write one.

Very early stages, so all this supports right now is:

• Basic GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE forwarding
• JSON configuration
• Basic round-robin
• Static retry interval (1 second)
• Filesystem logging with stdout fallback
• Basic TLS support

Todo:

• Allocate buffers from sync.Pool - right now we're creating way too much garbage
• Expanded logging backends
• Configurable retry intervals, timeouts, etc.
