I Built Relay_: The Open-Source Layer Between Your API and the Internet

说明与用途

Relay 是一个轻量级的 Go API 网关，简化了公共 API 的身份验证和速率限制，降低成本和复杂性。

问题

Developers building public APIs face expensive, complex, or DIY gateway solutions that add latency, cost, and maintenance overhead.

结果

Relay reduces API gateway complexity, cuts costs, and improves performance, enabling developers to focus on core business logic.

工作流

• 1. Deploy Relay in front of your backend API.
• 2. Configure API keys and rate limits via the Relay dashboard.
• 3. Relay intercepts incoming requests, validates keys in memory, applies Redis rate limits, and forwards clean requests to your API.
• 4. Monitor traffic and analytics through the built‑in dashboard.

证据

I almost rage‑quit my own side project last month because I spent 14 hours fighting AWS API Gateway just to validate a single API key.

Relay is a lightweight, open‑source API infrastructure layer. It sits right in front of your actual backend and handles all the annoying stuff automatically.
