✅ Fast caching with Redis (persistent storage)
✅ Gzip compression for bandwidth efficiency
✅ Configurable cache expiration (TTL)
✅ Rate limiting to prevent abuse
✅ Detailed logging and monitoring
✅ Fully containerized with Docker

Requirements: Rust, Cargo, Redis

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/z7pz/cache-proxy.git
cd cache-proxy

# Install dependencies & build
cargo build --release

# Run the proxy
./target/release/cache-proxy --port 3000 --origin "http://example.com" --cache-ttl 120

Requirements: Docker & Docker Compose

# Build and run the container
docker compose up --build -d

To stop:

docker compose down

View logs:

docker compose logs -f cache-proxy

You can configure the caching proxy using command-line flags or Docker environment variables.

./cache-proxy --port 8080 --origin "http://example.com" --cache-ttl 120

./cache-proxy --clear-cache

docker run -p 3000:3000 -e ORIGIN="http://example.com" -e CACHE_TTL=120 your-image-name

Fetches and caches responses from the origin server.

curl -i http://localhost:3000/

X-Cache: HIT  # Cached response
X-Cache: MISS  # New response from origin
