Accelerate time series data queries with HTTP reverse proxy caching.

About Trickster

Trickster is an open source HTTP reverse proxy cache designed to optimize the performance of time series databases and HTTP applications such as static file servers and web APIs. It significantly reduces dashboard query times by caching responses and eliminating redundant computations, which improves the efficiency of data visualization tools and monitoring dashboards. The product is ideal for enterprises relying on time series data for observability and operational insights.

Trickster offers a customizable rules engine for request routing and rewriting, enabling organizations to tailor caching strategies to their specific needs. It also includes a powerful application load balancer that optimizes response times for both time series and generic HTTP endpoints. As a CNCF sandbox project, Trickster aligns with cloud-native principles, making it suitable for containerized and microservices-oriented environments. Its open source nature allows enterprises to contribute to and influence its development while benefiting from a robust caching solution.
