Thanks for your feedback. I am keeping on fixing documentations...
And yes, Blackgate is a reverse proxy for microservices. The reason not using Kong is because if you want to start a Kong cluster, you have to run a bunch of dependencies in several nodes, like Nginx, PostgreSQL, etc.
Blackgate is much simpler in this case. Write config, and Run instance. Nothing more.
I believe the architecture is not built in one-day. In early state, we can choose a simpler tool to avoid over-engineering.
Cool, being a specialized simple tool is a good differentiator. Maybe a link to the source code too. Usually when I check out a new project like this I like to see what language it's written in and look under the hood a bit.
