Summary of Changes

Hello @dawid-nowak, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request focuses on a comprehensive update to the project's documentation, primarily through revisions to the README.md file and the inclusion of a new architecture diagram. The changes aim to provide a more structured and informative overview of Orion Proxy's capabilities, operational principles, and configuration, thereby enhancing the onboarding experience for new users and providing clearer context for existing contributors.

Highlights

  • README Content and Structure Updates: The README.md file has been significantly updated to improve readability and clarity, including adjustments to heading levels and expanded descriptions of key features.
  • Enhanced Use Cases and Compatibility: Detailed information on Orion Proxy's use cases, particularly its compatibility with Kubernetes Gateway and Inference Flows, has been added to the README.
  • New Architecture Diagram and Explanation: A new architecture diagram (orion.architecture.drawio) has been introduced, accompanied by an updated explanation in the README detailing Orion Proxy's 'share nothing' principle and Tokio Runtime configuration.
  • Clarified Configuration Options: The configuration section in the README has been revised to clearly distinguish between Orion runtime configuration and Envoy bootstrap configuration.

🧠 New Feature in Public Preview: You can now enable Memory to help Gemini Code Assist learn from your team's feedback. This makes future code reviews more consistent and personalized to your project's style. Click here to enable Memory in your admin console.

Changelog
  • README.md
    • Adjusted heading levels for 'Introduction' and 'Key features' for better hierarchy.
    • Clarified the description of memory safety benefits provided by Rust.
    • Introduced a new 'Use Cases and Compatibility' section, detailing Kubernetes Gateway and Inference Flow support.
    • Added a new paragraph under 'Architecture' explaining the 'share nothing' principle and Tokio Runtime configuration.
    • Updated the reference for the architecture image to point to the new diagram file.
    • Removed the 'Quick Start' heading.
    • Renamed the 'CPU/Thread Limit Configuration' section to 'Orion Configuration' and expanded on the two levels of configuration (runtime and bootstrap).
    • Added an empty line before the FOSSA status badge.
  • docs/pics/orion.architecture.drawio
    • Added a new draw.io diagram file that visually represents the architecture of Orion Proxy.

Code Review

This pull request updates the project's README file to provide more comprehensive information about the architecture, use cases, and configuration. It also adds a new architecture diagram source file. While the updates are a good step towards improving documentation, there are several issues that need addressing. The most significant problem is a broken image link for the new architecture diagram. Additionally, there are multiple instances of grammatical errors, inconsistent naming, and formatting issues (like trailing whitespace) that detract from the quality of the documentation. Addressing these points will make the README more professional and easier for users to understand.

README.md:98

  • The "Building", "Kubernetes", "Running", and "Docker" subsections (level-3 headings) appear to be incorrectly nested under the "Architecture" section (level-2 heading). These sections cover getting started and deployment topics, not architecture details. Consider creating a new level-2 heading section like "## Getting Started" or "## Installation" to properly organize these subsections, or promote them to level-2 headings.
### Building

```console
git clone https://github.com/kmesh-net/orion
cd orion
git submodule init
git submodule update --force
cargo build

Kubernetes

A great use case for Orion Proxy is to use Orion Proxy as Gateway API Service in Kubernetes environments.

Orion Proxy can be used as Kubernetes Gateway API and Orion Proxy is passing basic conformance tests. See Kubvernor documentation on how to run conformance tests with Orion Proxy.

Running

cargo run --bin orion -- --config orion/conf/orion-runtime.yaml

Docker
