Stop rebuilding HTTP security for every project. Backfire is an authenticated HTTP relay that makes outbound API calls safer with built-in SSRF protection, enforced timeouts, payload limits, API key management, and per-request audit logs. One POST, predictable JSON responses, and support for Node.js, Python, Go, PHP, and more. No SDK, no subscription, no expiring credits. Just safer outbound HTTP.
I built Backfire to solve a problem developers often overlook: making outbound HTTP requests safely.
When your application fetches URLs provided by users or external sources, you open the door to risks like SSRF attacks, unbounded requests, and unpredictable behavior.
Backfire provides a simple HTTP relay with built-in SSRF protection, timeouts, payload limits, API key management, and request-level audit logs.
The goal is simple: make secure outbound HTTP calls easy, without reinventing the security layer every time.
No SDKs to install. No complicated integrations. Just a simple API.
I'd love to hear your feedback:
How do you currently handle outbound HTTP security?
Would you use a dedicated API for this?
Thanks for checking out Backfire! Would genuinely appreciate your feedback and support. 🚀
