+# Proxy backend plugin
+
+This is the backend plugin that enables proxy definitions to be declared in and read from app-config.yaml.
+
+Relies on the `http-proxy-middleware` package.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+This backend plugin can be started in a standalone mode from directly in this package
+with `yarn start`. However, it will have limited functionality and that process is
+most convenient when developing the plugin itself.
+
+To run it within the backend do:
+
+1. Register the router in `packages/backend/src/index.ts`:
+
+```
+const proxyEnv = useHotMemoize(module, () => createEnv('proxy'));
+
+const service = createServiceBuilder(module)
+    .loadConfig(configReader)
+    /** several different routers */
+    .addRouter('/', await proxy(proxyEnv));
+```
+
+2. Start the backend
+
+```bash
+yarn workspace example-backend start
+```
+
+This will launch the full example backend.
