Overview

Roadmap

These features are planned. Each appears as a callout on the relevant docs page.

Coming Soon

Upstream TLS for config-driven proxy

https:// backend URLs in [[upstream]] sections of rws.config.toml. Currently only http:// backends are supported in proxy mode.

Coming Soon

Additional load-balancing strategies

least_connections, ip_hash, and random as alternatives to the current round-robin backend selection in ConfigDrivenApp and BackendPool.

Coming Soon

No-code auth in proxy mode

JWT and HTTP Basic auth configured directly in rws.config.toml without writing Rust code — equivalent to JwtLayer and BasicAuthLayer but activated through [[route]] middleware entries.

Coming Soon

Static site action in config proxy

type = "static" action in [[route]] sections to serve a directory of static files from the config-driven proxy without writing a custom controller.

Coming Soon

Regex URI rewriting in RewriteLayer

Pattern-based URI rewriting (e.g. capture groups, back-references) in addition to the current prefix-strip and prefix-add operations in RewriteLayer.

Coming Soon

ForwardAuthLayer middleware

Delegate authentication decisions to an external HTTP service. The middleware calls the auth service with a copy of the request headers; a non-2xx response rejects the original request.

Coming Soon

Multi-span distributed tracing

Child spans, baggage propagation, and per-database-query spans within a single inbound request. Currently OtelLayer creates one span per request with no nested structure.

Coming Soon

Admin UI

GET /admin — a browser-based dashboard showing live metrics, current configuration, and a tail of the access log. Requires authentication.

Coming Soon

Access log rotation

Built-in log-file rotation (by size or time) so the server can write logs to disk without an external logrotate configuration.

Coming Soon

WebAssembly compile target

Support for wasm32-wasi so the server can run inside a WebAssembly runtime such as Wasmtime or WasmEdge.
