NetGet

NetGet is a modular gateway framework designed for Node.js applications. It provides a flexible routing mechanism to create and manage digital domains in a networked environment.

It acts as a dynamic gateway to direct internet traffic to various local services based on domain names. It is particularly useful in environments where multiple services or applications must be accessible through a single entry point, commonly known as a reverse proxy setup.

Installation

Install NetGet via npm:

npm install netget

Scalable Web Services

In a microservices architecture, NetGet can route requests to different services within your infrastructure, making it an ideal solution for developers looking to scale their applications horizontally. Each service can have its own domain, and NetGet will ensure that requests are forwarded to the correct service.

Development and Testing

During the development phase, NetGet can be employed to simulate a production environment where multiple domains point to different local services. This allows developers to test domain-based routing without the need to deploy to a live server.

Personal Hosting Solutions

For personal web hosting, NetGet provides an easy-to-set-up gateway for routing traffic to various self-hosted applications. Users with several web applications running on a home server can use NetGet to manage access to these applications through different domains.

Usage

Import NetGet in your Node.js application:

import { Gateway } from 'netget';
// Configure your gateway instance
const gateway = new Gateway({
  port: 3000,
  domainsConfigPath: './config/domains.json'
});
// Start the gateway
gateway.listen();

Configuration

NetGet relies on a domains.json file for routing configuration, structured as follows:

{
  "name": "YourDomainConfigName",
  "domains": {
    "example.com": "exampleHandler",
    "anotherdomain.com": "anotherHandler"
  }
}

Each domain key maps to a handler module that exports a function to handle requests for that domain.

Secure Access Control

Combined with authentication layers, NetGet can control access to various parts of a web infrastructure, ensuring that only authorized users can access specific services.

Simplified Configuration

With NetGet, the complexity of setting up a domain routing system is abstracted away. Users can define their routing logic in a simple JSON configuration file, making the management of domain routes straightforward and maintainable.

Dynamic Load Balancing

NetGet can be extended to include load balancing capabilities, distributing incoming requests across multiple instances of a service to balance the load and improve performance.

By using NetGet, developers and system administrators can create a more organized and efficient network topology, where the flow of requests is handled systematically, aligning with the concept of futuristic control and management of digital spaces as depicted in cyberpunk narratives.
