Live: Rust Translation Engine

The universal API
translation layer.

Synthetix acts as a zero-latency translation proxy. Orchestrate disparate REST, gRPC, and SOAP protocols into a single, unified schema without writing a single line of custom middleware.

Auto-translating in 140μs
Consolidated Pipelines

Unify every endpoint into a single, high-performance graph

No more manual adaptation. Clients query Synthetix using standard REST, and our proxy transforms, validates, and directs requests to legacy and modern microservices using optimized TCP tunnels.

1

Client Ingestion

Legacy or multi-protocol applications query Synthetix natively over standard endpoints (REST, GraphQL, gRPC).

2

The Translation Kernel

Our core, written in Rust, parses the schema definitions in memory. Protocols translate instantly without payload disk-write or VM overhead.

3

Downstream Execution

Synthetix establishes ultra-fast connection pools to backend systems, applying localized rate limits and translation maps.

Designed for extreme compliance & developer autonomy

Schema Auto-Discovery
Point Synthetix at any endpoint or ingest OpenAPI/Swagger definitions. It automatically constructs downstreams and generates compliant gRPC protobuf mappings instantly.
Enterprise Auth Bridging
Seamlessly translate OAuth2 tokens to legacy mTLS certificates or custom headers. Standardize global access policies across heterogeneous cloud providers without code.
Granular Rate Limiting
Protect downstream servers using strict token-bucket rate limits backstopped by distributed Redis. Apply real-time throttling globally down to specific request attributes.
Unprecedented Performance

Why infrastructure leaders choose Synthetix

When processing billions of requests, traditional Node.js or Java-based gateways introduce compounding latency. Synthetix uses an optimized, multi-threaded Rust kernel to achieve raw socket speeds, outperforming competitor proxies by margins exceeding 10x.

Zero Garbage Collection

Rust architecture ensures static memory guarantees, preventing standard GC spikes.

Edge-optimized Binaries

Compile to lightweight WebAssembly (WASM) modules or native binaries for cloud edge deployments.

Gateway Latency Comparison

(Lower is better)
Traditional Proxy (Envoy/Java-based)4.2ms avg overhead
Standard Node Gateway12.8ms avg overhead
Synthetix Core (Rust)0.18ms avg overhead

Benchmarked against 1,000,000 concurrent pipelines on AWS c6g.2xlarge instances.

Developer Trust

Architects and developers trust Synthetix at scale

“We migrated our legacy monolithic SOAP endpoints to gRPC using Synthetix in under an afternoon. Our API response overhead dropped from 45ms to sub-millisecond ranges. Absolute life-saver.”

“The schema auto-discovery is magic. It mapped out our sprawling microservice graph and output a single clean TypeScript definition file. Our frontend teams have never been more productive.”
