Kairos Gateway v0.2.10 Released - High-Performance Multi-Protocol API Gateway in Rust
โ Rust ๐ 2025-10-30 ๐ค surdeus ๐๏ธ 23I'm happy to share the release of Kairos Gateway v0.2.10 - a high-performance, multi-protocol API gateway built with Rust and Actix-Web.
What is Kairos Gateway?
Kairos is a production-ready API gateway that routes and load-balances traffic across multiple protocols with enterprise-grade features. Think of it as a lightweight, fast alternative to Kong or NGINX Plus, written entirely in Rust.
Key Features

Multi-Protocol Support: HTTP, WebSocket (ws:// & wss://), FTP, and DNS in a single gateway
-
High Performance: Built on Actix-Web, handles approximately 50K req/s with sub-millisecond p50 latency
-
Smart Load Balancing: Round-robin, least connections, random, and IP hash strategies
-
Security First: JWT authentication, rate limiting, request validation
-
Health Checks: Automatic backend health monitoring with circuit breakers
-
Retry Logic: Configurable retry with exponential backoff
-
Hot Reload: Update configurations without downtime
-
Web UI: Modern admin interface for gateway management
-
Metrics: Built-in Prometheus-compatible metrics
