I made an open-source API Gateway for front end applications

Hacker News

Hey Everyone! I’ve recently been working on an api gateway to help frontend applications access third party APIs that require secret API keys without creating their own backend. I would love to know what the community thinks and I’m open to any feedback! For some further insight: it allows you to configure an express server using a yaml file where you can define endpoints that will proxy requests to the third party API. You can modify the requests to add secrets that should not be exposed on the frontend. You’re also able to define policies such as cors, jwt and api authentication as well as rate limiting.
