High-performance Layer-7 protection for streaming infrastructure. A distributed reverse-proxy platform for high-bandwidth services, streaming, APIs, portals and applications that need stronger origin protection and flexible traffic routing.
Cachivo L7 is designed to keep backend infrastructure away from direct public exposure. When correctly deployed:
Public DNS points to Cachivo infrastructure. Customers do not connect directly to your origin, and backend IP addresses stay separated from subscriber-facing endpoints.
Origin access can be restricted to authorised infrastructure only, so the path into your backend is one you approve rather than one anyone can attempt.
Public-facing hostnames stay independent from backend topology — so infrastructure changes get much easier, because the public hostname does not have to change when backend servers do.
Traffic is inspected and handled at Layer 7 before it is forwarded to your infrastructure.
HTTP/HTTPS and streaming proxying, application-layer filtering, traffic routing, backend health checks, origin failover, request filtering and connection controls.
Detection and blocking of SQL injection, cross-site scripting, path traversal, command injection, automated scanners, configuration-file probes and other malicious request patterns. Security events stay visible in the platform.
The actual visitor identity is maintained through the proxy chain, so controls act on the real subscriber rather than on a proxy node — essential for per-user limits, rate limiting, abuse prevention, authentication, security logs and analytics.
Limits based on the actual connecting subscriber help control excessive simultaneous connections, credential sharing, automated scraping, API abuse and unusual traffic patterns — without treating everyone behind the proxy as one client.
Use your own domain while Cachivo handles the certificate lifecycle — issued, installed and renewed automatically, so HTTPS is maintained without managing certificates by hand across individual proxy nodes.
Nodes are replaceable components: multiple proxy nodes, automatic health monitoring, traffic removed from failed nodes, rapid replacement, stateless deployment and automatic cluster rejoining. A failed node is replaced, not recovered.
This is one of the main advantages of Cachivo L7. Traffic can be routed through multiple available frontend paths. If one becomes unavailable or unsuitable, traffic moves to another without changing the subscriber-facing hostname.
Unlike Cachivo CDN, Cachivo L7 is designed for sustained, high-bandwidth streaming workloads.
Proxy infrastructure can be configured so that traffic reaching backend nodes outside approved Cachivo paths is silently discarded — reducing direct-origin scanning, automated probing, backend discovery, unauthorised direct requests and attempts to bypass the proxy layer.
For maximum separation and protection, run both. Together they form a complete frontend layer for web and streaming infrastructure.
Your subscriber hostname stays the same even when the routing or the backend infrastructure changes.
You do not need to move your entire infrastructure at once. Begin with a single server or hostname and validate it before migrating anything else.
Cachivo is infrastructure, not a mechanism for avoiding legal obligations. Customers remain responsible for:
The objective of the platform is infrastructure resilience, controlled routing, origin protection and predictable service management.
One subscriber hostname. Multiple delivery paths. Protected origins. Built for high-bandwidth traffic.
