Why not have a Kubernetes Ingress controller written in Rust? This new project makes this idea easy to try out.

Aralez is a high-performance reverse proxy built on top of Cloudflare's Pingora, a Rust framework for fast and programmable network services. It can operate as an Ingress controller for Kubernetes and offers:

- Zero-config support for gRPC and WebSocket;
- Dynamic load of upstreams and SSL certificates;
- Various authentication methods: basic auth, API tokens, JWT;
- Load balancing based on round-robin, failover with health checks, and sticky sessions via cookies;
- Built-in rate limiter (global and per path);
- Built-in file server for serving static files;
- Prometheus metrics.
