HTTP Sense

HTTP Sense is a reverse proxy and network monitoring tool that provides comprehensive network monitoring for your backend servers and microservices. It provides a secure and high-performance gateway that can be used to monitor incoming traffic. HTTP Sense's features include real-time traffic analysis, application-level filtering, user authentication, and more.

HTTP Sense is built on Supabase and utilizes the following features: - Supabase Postgres database - as the primary database - Supabase Authentication - for RBAC & ABAC - Supabase Realtime - To listen to realtime DB changes on the HTTP Sense UI

You can use HTTP Sense for the following: - As a network monitoring tool for your production environment (using --publish flag) - As a reverse proxy for your server in production or even, other lower environments - As a debugging/monitoring tool during development, like the Browser DevTools are for the browser - Just for fun

Setting up the repository for development

You will need cargo in order to install and run the HTTP Sense CLI. If you do not have cargo installed on your system, please follow the below guide from the official rust-lang docs:

https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/getting-started/installation.html

Once you have cargo installed, you can spin up the dev server using the following command: bash cargo run -- <YOUR_SERVER_URL> --publish Usage Example: bash cargo run -- https://0caf7838-7d0a-4a56-8b04-65a9c6f5815e.mock.pstmn.io --publish

• When using the --publish flag, you won't need to run the UI server separately and instead can use the production UI at https://www.httpsense.com
• Once the server has started, it will start intercepting and reverse proxying every request that comes in to your actual server and publishes the monitoring stats to the URL that is provided to you via the CLI. Please make sure you copy the URL with the hash when opening it in the browser.

example: bash https://www.httpsense.com/526a0f41-a617-4f9e-8b40-f18d40104f99/#YXN5MW9wdE1VcXVWS0E1MHY3TDdDa0hJT0RyOVZqQGV4YW1wbGUuY29tOjp1Ym56Y0FOeEliM0toajdRazU5bW4xWFgwNVBkNnE=
