Nolxy - Stop rebuilding API infrastructure on every project

by•
Nolxy is the infrastructure layer to secure and scale any API instantly. It helps developers automate authentication, enforce atomic rate limiting, and deploy multi-layer DDoS protection - without changing a single line of backend code. Built-in high-performance caching and real-time analytics included.

Hi everyone! I’m Davide, the creator of Nolxy. Every project I worked on needed the same things: API key auth, rate limiting, caching, and DDoS protection. I found myself rebuilding the same gateway logic over and over. Existing enterprise tools felt like overkill for a solo dev, while "simple" solutions often lacked the technical depth I needed. So I built Nolxy - a drop-in layer for any existing API. Zero code changes required. You just point your traffic to it and you're good to go. A few technical highlights: 🛡️ Multi-layer DDoS (ProxyShield): We don't just block at the app level. Packets are dropped at the kernel level (iptables) and TCP sockets are terminated before HTTP parsing. Bans propagate across all nodes instantly. ⚡ ~0.3ms Gateway Overhead: Our two-tier cache (in-process + Redis) is checked before auth runs. On a cache hit, the request never even reaches your backend. 🔄 Transform Pipelines: Mask PII, extract JWT claims as headers, rename fields, or convert XML↔JSON - all configurable per route with no backend changes. 📊 Native Analytics: 30+ fields per request. Get latency breakdowns, geo-data, bot detection, and threat scoring out of the box. No Grafana or extra setup needed. Currently in beta - free to try, no credit card required.
