Shenyu
Shenyu is a microservices API gateway designed to route external traffic to backend services using dynamic rules and protocol conversion. It functions as a central entry point that manages traffic flow through a combination of an API traffic governor, a distributed configuration manager, and a security layer for protecting endpoints.
The project features a dynamic plugin architecture that allows for the injection of custom request processing logic without restarting the server. It utilizes a distributed coordination service to synchronize routing and policy updates across a gateway cluster in real time.
The gateway covers broad capability areas including traffic governance via rate limiting and circuit breaking, and security integration through token-based authorization and digital signature verification. It also provides observability through integrated tracing, metrics collection, and system health monitoring.
Features
- Microservice Traffic Management - Routes external API traffic to backend microservices using dynamic rules and protocol conversion.
- API Gateway - Functions as a high-performance microservices API gateway providing protocol translation and dynamic routing.
- Request Processing Plugins - Provides a modular plugin chain to process and modify incoming HTTP requests and responses.
- Plugin-Extensible Runtimes - Features a plugin-extensible runtime that allows injecting custom logic into the request chain without restarts.
- API Gateway Configurations - Provides interfaces for real-time definition and update of routing and security policies via a dashboard.
- Routing Rules - Provides dynamic routing rules to direct incoming requests to the appropriate backend microservices.
- Request Interceptors - Ships request interceptors to implement essential traffic governance like rate limiting and circuit breaking.
- API Access Security - Provides security for API endpoints through digital signature verification and token-based authorization.
- API Gateway Security - Implements a centralized security layer at the gateway to enforce token-based authorization and signature verification.
- Microservices Security - Integrates microservices security by verifying digital signatures and tokens to authorize backend access.
- Traffic Governance - Implements rate limiting and circuit breaking to protect backend services from overloading during traffic spikes.
- Dynamic Plugin Extensions - Allows adding custom request processing logic through dynamically loaded plugins without interrupting service availability.
- Plugin Architectures - Employs a plugin architecture for the dynamic loading of components to extend core request processing logic.
- Traffic Flow Control - Provides traffic flow control through rate limiting and circuit breaking to protect backend services.
- Multi-Protocol Proxies - Supports multi-protocol proxying to translate incoming requests into various backend communication standards.
- API Traffic Governance - Provides a set of controls for rate limiting and circuit breaking to maintain microservice stability.
- Routing Cache Synchronization - Implements real-time synchronization of routing caches across a distributed gateway cluster.
- Distributed Configuration Management - Provides a distributed configuration management system to push policy and routing updates across the cluster.
- Gateway Sidecars - Acts as a sidecar-compatible entry point for microservices to decouple security and traffic logic.
- Configuration Synchronization Services - Utilizes a configuration synchronization service to maintain global routing and policy updates across the cluster.
- Traffic Routing Dashboards - Includes a visual dashboard for managing and updating routing rules and user permissions in real time.
- Cluster Monitoring Systems - Tracks performance and health across the gateway cluster using integrated metrics and distributed tracing.
- System Health Monitoring - Monitors system health and production stability using integrated logging, metrics collection, and tracing.
- API Gateways - Java-native gateway for protocol conversion and service proxying.

How this analysis was created: This summary and feature list were written by an AI model that read the project's README and public documentation pages. Each feature links to the documentation it came from; stars, license and language come straight from the GitHub API. The model does not read the source code, and the analysis is refreshed when the project is re-analysed. Learn more on our About page.
