Application platform powers Loadbalancer, Microservices and API Gateways

Borderland

This project was started from ugly fun example. But this project is not a simple HTTP load balncer. We dont need it. We need to balance our application payload. So let we use somthing like a application bus to communicate with application logic.

Also there standard practice to use external crates(modules,libraries). But lot of them suffer from overprogramming, not clear implementation of specifications and unnecessary extra functionality. So i liked the starter point of project and i would like to use less external code in that project. Because "less code" is mean less errors and faster executon, which is main goal.

How to run?

Make sure you have cargo installed and run the command cargo run to boot up the server.

Visit locahost:8080 from your browser.

What can it do now?

1. Say hello world - visit localhost:8888/api/v1

2. Serve static files - visit localhost:8888/files/index.html - this will serve the index.html file from the www folder in the repo root. Place any other file inside www and they can be served similarly (using the /files prefix - this will be configurable by the user in future, just like in Apache and Nginx).

Changelog

• Started profiling coz move to use MIO doesnt give good results
