fakruzaruret Pingora is more like a foundation of libraries and APIs, which at first can seem a bit puzzling. But for what you're interested in, there's really nothing to worry about. Actually, there's this project called River that started even before Pingora was opened up to the public. It's aimed at building a reverse-proxy, kind of like what Nginx does. You can check it out here: https://www.memorysafety.org/blog/introducing-river/.
Since Pingora isn't stable yet, we're looking at some time before everything's ready, but it definitely feels like we're getting close to having a new option on the table. I think it's quite exciting, especially with the potential for River to support multithreading from the start. It's a great way to boost efficiency because, honestly, why have CPU threads if we're not going to use them to handle things better? But to be honest, I don't see it making a huge difference in most cases. The main benefit is just dealing with big loads of requests more smoothly.
