A configurable API gateway and proxy server with dynamic policy middleware.

Bouncer is a lightweight API gateway that sits between clients and your backend services. It provides:

• Policy-based middleware for authentication, authorization, and more
• Database integration with PostgreSQL, Redis, and MongoDB
• Extensible architecture with support for custom policies
• Request proxying to backend services with token verification

For a comprehensive explanation of Bouncer's features and architecture, see docs/ABOUT.md.
