Pingora, the proxy that connects Cloudflare to the Internet

For any of the Cloudflare team that frequents HN, curious if you have an eventual plan to open-source Pingora? I recognize it may stay proprietary if you consider it to be a differentiator and competitive advantage, but this blog post almost has a tone of "introducing this new technology!" as if it's in the cards for the future.

We are planning on open sourcing it. That's mentioned in the post near the end.

It is kind of weird to point out nginx doing closed door development as a negative, and then do exactly the same thing yourself.

The “closed door development” is a problem for their business. They don’t have that problem when they maintain it, free software aside.

Do you think that it would be beneficial during analyst conference calls to highlight that Cloudflare is using Rust to build its next-gen critical systems? It shows a strong commitment to building best-in-class technology.
