Have you tried nginx?
This is somewhat off-topic, but the colour contrast on this site absolutely sucks. Dark gray on what presumably is darker gray, in a thin font to boot, is a pain to read.
Are there any other existing edge proxies written in Erlang or Elixir out there? It’s not an area I’m very familiar with
Nicely done! And yes, I'd love to see it open sourced.
One step away from an attack barrier
Just as an apology in advance for people reading the article on Linux: er, sorry. I've had a few people point out that Firefox on Linux renders the font particularly shitly (it somehow seems to get both the aliasing and colour wrong, wat). I'll fix it soon, but in the meantime using reader mode might save your eyes.
