api proxy - transparent circuit breaker

tom

Hello, I need a transparent RESTful API proxy with circuit breaker features. Can anyone point me to relevant modules or OpenRestly use cases?

thanks for the quick reply.

yes kong looks quite interesting. But, it does not have circuit breaker and if I understand correctly wither I used kong or openrestly it would still be an nginix lua module?

I'm at the learning stage myself but it looks like you can use Lua to write your own plugins

yep and since im not after all of kong's features then I will prob use openrestly over kong. I am anticipating developing the event module but hoping there is some existing work covering the circuit breaker, upstream auth, and p2p key/value

Features:

smart circuit breaker
subscribe to event commands and publish event responses
thin, simple cache
auth to upstream api
only for one upstream api - not a shared resource, prefer p2p/dht over a database.
