BlossomGateway is a custom API gateway built on Netty, supporting HTTP and Dubbo protocols. It uses Nacos for service registration and configuration, Redis for distributed rate limiting, and provides a pluggable filter chain for routing, load balancing (random, round-robin, weighted, consistent hash), authentication (JWT), gray release, flow control (Guava/Redis), circuit breaking (Hystrix), monitoring (Prometheus), and mocking. The gateway core is a Netty server that processes incoming HTTP requests, creates a GatewayContext, and runs through a chain of filters before routing to backend services. It also includes a client SDK (BlossomGateway-Client) for downstream services to register themselves. Additionally, the repository contains a separate custom RPC framework (BlossomRPC) with its own protocol, serialization, and dynamic proxy, which appears to be experimental/educational. The project is structured as a multi-module Maven project with clear separation of concerns. However, the codebase shows signs of being a learning project with many TODOs, hardcoded values, and personal promotional content, indicating it may not be production-ready.
