Show HN: Reverse Proxy as a Service

We built Snow Owl after two incidents at our last company required us to build reverse proxies from scratch. We thought it would take a few days but they ended up taking two months to build, and we knew there must be a better way.

Snow Owl sits in front of your back end, enabling request-level monitoring for rapid debugging, and conditional routing based on a rules engine. It sets up in less than 20 minutes and is cloud agnostic.

For those of you implementing microservices, this is one great way to do it without getting into the complexities of Kubernetes.

We'd love to hear your feedback, input, and questions!

How would this differ from routing reqs using a cloudflare Worker which provide both analytics insight and invocations at the edge?

Writing a worker that does general purpose proxying is hard.

Unlike Workers, we made Snow Owl more user friendly and no/low code, with a robust rules engine for custom routing. All requests are logged by default for rapid debugging. It's intended for all members of development teams to commonly handle network operations and site maintenance, especially for maximizing uptime.
