Pingoo is a self-hosted load balancer, API gateway, and reverse proxy written in Rust, positioned as an open-source alternative to Cloudflare, Akamai, and Fastly. It bundles automatic post-quantum HTTPS/TLS, service discovery (Docker, DNS), a web application firewall, bot protection, GeoIP/ASN filtering, TCP proxying, and static site serving into a single high-performance binary with no enterprise edition.
Use cases
- self-host a cloudflare alternative on my own servers
- reverse proxy with built-in web application firewall
- protect my api from bots and scrapers
- load balance http and tcp traffic across backend services
- api gateway with rate limiting and geoip country blocking
- automatic https tls certificate termination
- service discovery for docker containers
- block traffic by country or ASN
When to choose
- You want Cloudflare/Akamai/Fastly-style edge features (WAF, bot protection, GeoIP, TLS) running on your own servers so user traffic never leaves your infrastructure
- You need load balancing, service discovery, and API gateway functionality consolidated into one lightweight Rust binary instead of gluing together nginx, fail2ban, and custom scripts
- You are frustrated with 'Enterprise Edition' paywalls in nginx/haproxy ecosystems and want core proxy security features under a permissive MIT license
When to avoid
- You need a battle-tested proxy with decades of production hardening and a massive plugin/module ecosystem, where nginx, HAProxy, or Envoy are safer bets
- You prefer a fully managed CDN/WAF service and do not want to operate and scale your own edge infrastructure
- You depend on a specific advanced feature that is still listed as coming soon on Pingoo's roadmap rather than shipped today
