💡 Why Use Goma Gateway?

Goma Gateway is more than just a reverse proxy — it’s a modern, developer-friendly API Gateway designed to simplify, secure, and scale your service infrastructure. Here’s why it stands out:

✅ Simple, Declarative Configuration

Configure routes, middleware, policies, and TLS in a clear and concise YAML format. Whether you prefer single-file or multi-file setups, Goma makes configuration intuitive and maintainable.

🔐 First-Class Security Built-In

Security isn’t an afterthought. Goma ships with robust middleware for:

  • Automatic HTTPS with Let’s Encrypt or your own custom TLS certs.
  • Built-in Auth support: Basic, JWT, OAuth, LDAP, and ForwardAuth.
  • Protection against common exploits like SQLi and XSS.
  • Fine-grained access control, method restrictions, and bot detection.

🌐 Multi-Domain & Dynamic Routing

Host and route traffic across multiple domains effortlessly. Whether you’re proxying REST APIs, WebSocket services, or static assets — Goma routes requests intelligently based on host and path.

⚙️ Live Reload & GitOps-Ready

No restarts needed. Goma supports live configuration reloads, making it ideal for CI/CD pipelines and GitOps workflows. Manage your gateway infrastructure declaratively and version everything.

📊 Observability from Day One

Goma offers full visibility into your traffic:

  • Structured Logging with log level support.
  • Metrics & Dashboards via Prometheus/Grafana integrations.
  • Built-in Rate Limiting to throttle abusive traffic with optional Redis support.

🚀 Performance Optimization

Speed matters. Goma provides:

  • HTTP Caching (in-memory or Redis) with intelligent invalidation.
  • Advanced Load Balancing (round-robin, weighted) and health checks to keep your infrastructure resilient.

☸️ Cloud-Native & Kubernetes-Friendly

Integrate seamlessly with Kubernetes using Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs). Manage routes, middleware, and gateways as native Kubernetes objects.

Whether you’re building a secure public API, managing internal microservices, or modernizing legacy systems — Goma Gateway gives you the power and flexibility you need, without the complexity you don’t.
