Facts are:

* it's completely untested (except probably you and me)

* no experience/tests regarding performance, scalability and stability
  - there are some TODO's for this

* lacks some more features like
  - STARTTLS support for clients
  - supression of SETANNOTAION and SETMETADATA commands

* no security review or auditing done yet

And "prof-of-concept" even more because of the fact that this is
implemented with Javascript and node. Not necessarily the first choice
for building a high-performance proxy application. I started this
primarily because I was curious about node and maybe it will turn out to
be performant enough to proxy thousands of client connections. That is
yet to be found out. But anybody who now feels challenged to load-test
this thing or start trying to exploit the client-facing socket for leaks
and misbehavior: be my guest!

The only thing I did so far was to process 50K client sessions to verify
that garbage collection works correctly and that no memory is leaking.


Kind regards,
Thomas
