stackdriver-reverse-proxy

stackdriver-reverse-proxy is an HTTP/HTTPS proxy to automatically trace all the incoming requests.

Installation and usage

$ go get -u github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/stackdriver-reverse-proxy/cmd/stackdriver-reverse-proxy

Once installed, start the proxy server and target your application server. For example, if the application server is running on http://service:8080, the following command will start the proxy at http://localhost:5555:

$ stackdriver-reverse-proxy -project=bamboo-lua-400 -target=http://service:8080 -http=:5555

The authentication is automatically handled if you are running the proxy server on Google Cloud Platform. If not, see the Application Default Credentials guide to enable ADC.
