So I am going to reply to this one as its the root one.

Just Curious: Whats the appeal here? Why did you all decide to work on this? What were (if at all) you using before this was made by you?

We'd played with a PHP script running behind nginx, but I wanted to be able to easily and reliably route requests, with ZERO config, and I wanted to write scripts in bash. The majority of our scripts are written in bash utilizing jq.

Now we can define where things route simply by where they go in the hierarchy and it's wonderfully simple to use.

It was a fairly simple undertaking in Go, and we've been very happy with it overall.

When I started working on this, I couldn't find a simple tool that I could drop in and automatically redeploy my latest development branch on my code repo.
