Varnish Cache is an HTTP reverse proxy and content accelerator designed to sit in front of web servers. It functions as a caching engine that stores frequently accessed web content in memory to reduce the processing load on backend origin servers and accelerate delivery times for end users.
The main features of varnish/varnish-cache are: Content Caching Accelerators, HTTP Reverse Proxies, Proxy Servers, Domain Specific Languages, Distributed Shared Memory, Load Balancers, Request and Response Transformations, Non-Blocking Event Loops.

Sozu is a high-performance, memory-safe reverse proxy and load balancer built in Rust. It is designed to manage HTTP, TCP, and UDP traffic through a multi-process architecture that leverages isolated worker processes to ensure fault tolerance and efficient resource utilization across multi-core hardware. The project distinguishes itself through a focus on continuous availability and dynamic control. It features a unique binary hot-reloading mechanism and a Unix-socket-based control plane, allowing administrators to update proxy configurations, modify listener settings, and even replace the pr
VasSonic is a hybrid mobile app framework for Android and iOS designed to optimize the loading speed of web views. It functions as a web view performance optimizer and a mobile web resource cache, utilizing an HTML differential update engine to minimize remote network fetches and reduce first-screen load times. The framework distinguishes itself by splitting HTML into static templates and dynamic data, calculating differences between server state and cached content to send only modified fragments. It employs a native-to-JavaScript bridge to sync these server-side data updates directly into th
node-http-proxy is a Node.js HTTP proxy library and toolkit used to create programmable reverse proxies, load balancers, and traffic routers. It functions as a system for forwarding HTTP and WebSocket traffic from clients to backend target servers. The project provides capabilities for translating incoming request paths into backend addresses using programmable matching rules. It supports the creation of bidirectional tunnels to facilitate real-time communication via WebSocket proxying. The library covers the modification of request and response headers, including the rewriting of cookies an
This project is an HTTP web server that delivers web content to clients using HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 protocols across various operating systems. It functions as a reverse proxy server, a rule-based URL rewriter, an SSL/TLS termination gateway, and a virtual host manager. The server is capable of hosting multiple distinct domains on a single instance by mapping requests to specific directory structures. It encrypts and decrypts network traffic at the server boundary to secure communication between clients and servers. Additionally, it transforms requested URLs into different paths using a regular
