What are we doing now?
YARP is officially public! Welcome to the project! Up to now, our main focus has been around importing a prototype built by one of our partner teams at Microsoft and getting the repository ready. We're also consuming new builds of .NET 5 weekly so that we can get the latest and greatest improvements as we go.
Some of the changes we've made so far:
- Imported the "IslandGateway" prototype.
- Basic code tidy up and build system
- Refactored the proxy into a pipeline model to allow for better extensibility in the future
- Refactored the config system
- Implemented a total of four load balancing algorithms: Random, Power of Two Choices, Least Requests and First Healthy Endpoint.
