This document provides an overview of how Piko works.

The Piko server is a HTTP(S) reverse proxy that forwards requests to upstream
listeners. Unlike a traditional reverse proxy, Piko never opens a connection
directly to your upstream. Instead upstreams listeners open outbound-only
connections to the server and listen on a particular endpoint. The server then
forwards requests to a listening upstream via its outbound connection to the
server.
The [Piko server](./server/server.md) is a HTTP(S) reverse proxy that forwards
requests to upstream listeners. Unlike a traditional reverse proxy, Piko never
opens a connection directly to your upstream. Instead upstreams listeners open
outbound-only connections to the server and listen on a particular endpoint.
The server then forwards requests to a listening upstream via its outbound
connection to the server.

This means upstreams can run anywhere without requiring a public route, as long
as they can open a connection to the Piko server.

You can create an upstream listener using the Piko agent.
You can create an upstream listener using the [Piko agent](./agent/agent.md).
