Dynamic Docker friendly gateway

The purpose of the project is to provide a dynamically configurable gateway that is easilly deployable in a docker swarm enviroment.

• Offer dynamic routing
• configurable through an easy to use rest api
• No down time to relad configuration
• configuration should be shared by all the nodes but no context is shared between nodes (No node to node communication)
• ...

The current solution use openresty (NGINX based scriptable gateway) with a redis as a Database. It's based on dns The NGINX have 2 servers configured:

• server listening on 8888 is for configuration and is used to push an upstream to a redis List ( the key is the desired location/API)
• server listening on 8666 have a wildcard location that will execute a lua (rewrite) script to find the upstream, based on the path and rewrite it to the configured upstream The current solution is based on https://github.com/tes/lua-resty-router

• Update the README to add a demo and how to deploy
• Add the ability to remove a location
• Add the ability to configure multiple upstream for one location (load balancing)
• Add a pipeling with tests (specially for LUA scripting)
• Add the ability to delete all locations
• Add unit test framework for the lua libraries
• Write documentation with examples and use cases
• Add swagger documentation for the API
• Add an etcd backend support
• Add regex support for upstream
• ...
