Vortex Shield 🛡️

Fastify + Redis API Gateway with Advanced Rate Limiting

Lightweight and performant API gateway built with Fastify and Redis for intelligent rate limiting. Designed to protect your APIs from abuse, spam, and basic DDoS attacks.

Perfect for microservices, SaaS backends, or any public API needing traffic control.

✨ Features

• 🐳 Fully Dockerized (multi-stage build, alpine-based, < 100MB image)
• 🔒 Production-ready logging (JSON in prod, pretty in dev)
• 🌿 Clean TypeScript architecture
• 🚀 Easy to extend (add auth, proxying, monitoring...)
