Lunar API Consumption Gateway

The Lunar API Consumption Gateway is a proxy-based infrastructure layer that routes outbound HTTP/HTTPS API traffic through configurable YAML-based flows. It enforces rate limits, quota policies, priority queues, circuit breakers, and endpoint access controls without requiring code changes in consuming applications. Requests are routed by setting x-lunar-scheme, x-lunar-host, and x-lunar-consumer-tag headers and targeting the gateway on port 8000.
