Oxy is Cloudflare's Rust-based next generation proxy framework

6 months ago

Oxy is a modern proxy framework developed by Cloudflare using Rust.
It serves as the foundation for several Cloudflare projects including Zero Trust Gateway and iCloud Private Relay.
Oxy supports a wide range of protocols and allows for deep customization of proxy behavior.
It enables multi-layer traffic processing, from L3 to L7, with features like traffic decapsulation.
Oxy includes built-in tools for monitoring, logging, and security, such as TLS support and FIPS compliance.
The framework is designed for high-load scenarios, offering extensibility and ease of configuration via YAML.
Oxy's development follows an iterative approach, allowing for gradual feature addition and improvement.
It distinguishes itself from Pingora, another Cloudflare proxy, by focusing on multipurpose use rather than handling obscure configurations.
Future blog posts will delve deeper into Oxy's technical aspects and applications.
