vey-gateway Reference

vey-gateway is the gateway component in the Vey stack. It accepts stream and keyless traffic on the edge, applies the configured server behavior, and forwards requests to backend services discovered through the configured routing layer.

Its configuration model is centered on a small set of cooperating objects:

  • server accepts client traffic and defines frontend behavior

  • discover resolves or expands upstream targets

  • backend connects to upstream services and handles forwarding

  • log and stat provide observability

This documentation is organized into three reference sections:

  • Configuration describes all configuration objects and their relationships.

  • Metrics documents the exported StatsD metrics.

  • Log describes the structured log formats emitted by the daemon.

For a first read, start with the configuration reference and then move to the metrics and log sections to understand how the daemon reports runtime state and task activity in production.
