Backport - Open-source API gateway with built-in WAF — no code changes

Backport is an open-source API gateway that protects your API from attacks — without code changes. Just point clients to our proxy URL. ✅ 17+ WAF patterns (SQLi, XSS, path traversal) ✅ Custom regex rules — free ✅ Rate limiting, caching, mocking ✅ Response transformation ✅ <5ms overhead "Free tier: 100 req/min. MIT licensed open-source code. Managed cloud service.". No SDK. No backend changes. Just security.

Hey PH! 👋 I'm Suhail, builder of Backport. 🔍 Problem: APIs get attacked daily, but adding security means rewriting code OR paying $20+/mo for custom WAF rules. 💡 Solution: Backport is a proxy that sits in front of your API and handles security, rate limiting, caching — all without touching your backend. 🛠 Built with: Python/FastAPI + Next.js/TypeScript + PostgreSQL 🔓 MIT License — self-host or use our free cloud 🚀 Getting started: 1. Sign up at backport.in 2. Generate API key 3. Point clients to proxy URL 4. Done! I built this because security shouldn't be a luxury. Would love your feedback! ❓ What's the #1 feature you'd want in an API gateway? GitHub: github.com/Qureshi-1/Backport-io
