## What it is
Reproxy is a simple edge HTTP(s) server and reverse proxy written in Go, distributed as a single binary or Docker container. It supports multiple discovery providers (docker, static, file, consul catalog), automatic Let's Encrypt SSL termination, health checks, load balancing, and per-route authentication.

## Use cases
- reverse proxy for docker containers with automatic discovery
- automatic ssl termination with lets encrypt
- self-hosted edge server for multiple virtual hosts
- load balancing and failover for backend services
- add basic auth and ip access control to internal services
- route http requests to backend services with regex url rewriting
- expose prometheus metrics for proxied routes

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight single-binary reverse proxy with automatic SSL
- you run docker services and want zero-config route discovery
- you need simple proxy rules with regex-based URL rewriting
- you want built-in health checks, failover, and basic auth without a full gateway

## When to avoid
- you need advanced API gateway features like complex transformations or gRPC proxying
- you already run Traefik, nginx, or Caddy and are satisfied with them
- you need a GUI or extensive plugin ecosystem
