Yes, I'm working on bringing Fastly's OHTTP Relay to GA, which will allow us to offer it to more customers. That's ultimately more of a pricing and business process thing than any additional technical work. The implementation is feature complete at this point. Planning for that in Q2 (mid-April if all goes well).

I'm not (currently) planning to support customer self-service for this, because I anticipate that most customers may want:

1. Fastly to operate the OHTTP relay service, so that they can clearly state that they can't interfere with its operation to their end users.

2. Customization around business logic. We do plan to re-use the core service implementation across customers, but I've found with the initial implementations that there is an additional layer of business logic that's valuable (things like specifically which headers to strip / pass, using backend API key, verifying a client shared secret, etc.).

However, if it becomes apparent that self-service is desirable here, I'll definitely consider that. There would be a bit more work on the engineering side to enable that.

If you might be interested in that service, I'm happy to discuss: <hn username> @ fastly dot com
