We had a problem with a solution from a large international supplier. While doing an external audit (pentesting), we came across vulnerabilities and the possibility of ‘breaking’ the system as a whole (apart from the fact that natively the system did not support service-mesh, which was required by the client...). So, to mitigate the open vulnerabilities and add service-mesh (sort of), we used Apache (httpd), but writing the configuration and figuring out how to patch it well was driving me crazy. That's why this solution was created, if I'm honest it took me a week to write it, which is about the time I had to solve the problem described earlier. I got the green light from my superiors for something of my own and that's how this project came about. Plus the fact that I wanted to see how rusty my Python was :)

Big enterprise solution and custom not well tested solution, it smells like possibility of failure. But fingers crossed ;)
That's why i can focus on making it even better :)
