Steem Load Balancer: Passing Header to Downstream Nodes

in #steem15 hours ago

With the following PR, you can now pass headers to any downstream nodes:

For example:

headers:
  "https://api.justyy.com":
    "X-Edge-Key": "${X_EDGE_KEY}"
  "https://api2.justyy.com":
    "X-Edge-Key": "${X_EDGE_KEY}"

The headers can be specified to pass to the downstream nodes. When proxying requests, the Load Balancer injects a shared-secret header so downstream nodes can identify trusted traffic and apply elevated (or exempt) rate-limit policies.

Steem to the Moon🚀!
