The blog doesn't explain what Rama is, but it's a network library (?) for Rust: https://ramaproxy.org/

Is it a proxy or more? It seems more despite the name.

OP, I am very happy for you releasing, but I see you have zero upvotes. I think explaining what something is is key in any blogpost. And sorry to say, but the triplet in your text gives AI vibes even though it's a completely legitimate way of writing and I am sure you did write it yourself.

OP Here, sorry for not being clear. And happy for feedback on our presentation, docs, my article and ofc the code itself. It has been under developed since over 5 years, and was used in production right from the start. Now we are at a point that it is used by several different companies and even more individual users.

Here is some context and info about the framework that I am quoting from our README to provide you with context:

Rama is a modular service framework for the Rust (programming) language.

The framework is intentionally explicit. Your network stack is built from services, layers, transports, protocols, and state that you compose yourself. That makes the shape of the system visible in the code, instead of hidden behind framework magic or configuration.

This makes Rama a good fit not only for proxies, but for network services where the stack itself matters: how traffic enters, how it is decoded, where state lives, what gets inspected, what gets transformed, and where it goes next.

Whether you're inspecting traffic for security analysis, writing a web service, emulating clients with custom user agents, controlling connection behavior for advanced testing, or building high-performance proxies, Rama provides a clean and composable Tokio-native foundation for network services in Rust.

Rama is used in production for network security, data extraction, API gateways, routing, and other networked systems.
