Pingora is a Rust-based high-performance HTTP proxy and networking framework developed by Cloudflare to eventually replace NGINX. Designed for extreme reliability and memory-safe concurrency, it handles over 40 million requests per second in production and reduces CPU/memory usage significantly compared to traditional web servers.

Features

  • Built in Rust for memory safety and concurrency
  • Designed as a replacement for NGINX in high-throughput environments
  • Programmable HTTP proxy with plugin architecture
  • Proven stability under production traffic (~trillions of requests)
  • Lower resource usage while increasing performance
  • Supports in-memory caching and integration into reverse proxy systems
