Rust-Based Transparent Proxy Lens Aims to Simplify Distributed App Debugging
Lens is an open-source Rust project that uses a transparent proxy to observe requests and responses in distributed applications without requiring instrumentation. It currently supports HTTP/1.1 and PostgreSQL protocol decoding, with plans for visualizing request flows and measuring latency. The project is seeking feedback from developers experienced in networking tools and Rust.
