Boulevard is an experimental reverse proxy and HTTP server. Compared to NGINX, Boulevard is written in a memory safe language and uses ACME for automatic TLS certificate management. Compared to Caddy, Boulevard can act as a pure layer 4 TCP proxy without having to recompile the program.
Boulevard is not released yet, and I have a long list of interesting features to develop. Star the repository on GitHub if you are interested!
Boulevard is open source software distributed under the ISC license.
Similar to SQLite, Boulevard is open source but not open contribution for multiple reasons:
- It avoids potential intellectual property and licensing issues.
- It removes the burden of reviewing patches and maintaining the resulting code.
- It helps keeping the software focused on a clear vision.
While this might be disappointing to you, this choice helps me continue to build and maintain Boulevard.
I am thankful for any bug report. Feel free to open issues and include as much useful information as possible. I cannot however guarantee that I will fix every bug.
Ideas about current systems and suggestions for new ones are welcome, either on GitHub discussions or by email.
You can also hire me for support or to develop specific features.
