A service proxy can be deployed on front of a Web server, Web Service or a REST resource. It conceals the server and offers the same interface as the target server to its clients.

serviceProxy:
  '$ref': <string>
  flow:
    - <flow>
  host: <string>
  ip: <string>
  method: <string>
  name: <string>
  path: {}
  port: <number>
  ssl: {}
  target: {}
