Adding a reverse proxy wing resource

tsuf239 commented 1 year ago

Feature Spec

Creating a proxy wing resource that will simplify the following code: https://github.com/winglang/website-proxy could be helpful

@ainvoner FYI

Use Cases

gathering a few different domains to be under a single domain

Implementation Notes

We should probably write a blog post after achieving that easily on wing :)

Yes, here are a few thoughts:

Forwarded Headers / query strings should be configurable
Cloudfront has a limit of 25 behaviours (and very rudimentary path matching, e.g. /foo and /foo/* are two distinct behaviours)
A way to define inflight functions for behaviours could be something people find useful (perhaps even targeting Functions rather than lambda@edge)
What are the equivalent services in Azure and GCP? Is it possible to achieve feature parity?
Metrics / Alerts ?
Logs (lambda@edge logs are a pain since per region. Functions are globally collected in us-east-1)

Besides from that, adding a proxy feature to the Website resource might also be nice.

rather than

let website = new cloud.Website(
  path: "./static",
);

let api = new cloud.Api();
// somehow inject the URL as config (and having to deal with CORS for the API)
website.addJson("config.json", { api: api.url });

something like

let website = new cloud.Website(
  path: "./static",
);

let api = new cloud.Api();
// define a known path with no CORS headaches
website.proxy("/myapi", api.url)

This stems from this example

Totally agree with Sebastian: allowing to define proxies in the website resource directly would be awesome.

Not sure what elements can be used to provide the same functionality in the cloud providers than aws, though.
