Whoogle
Self-hosted privacy-respecting proxy front-end for Google Search that strips tracking, ads, and JavaScript. Essentially stateless, but operates in a legal/ToS gray area that public instances often run into.

⚙ Full Stack
Flask (Python) app that proxies and rewrites Google Search result pages server-side, stripping trackers/scripts; no persistent database, with optional Tor/proxy routing for the outbound requests.
📈 Scaling Analysis
Trivially horizontally scalable since it's stateless, but real-world scaling is limited by Google's own rate limiting and CAPTCHA challenges against the proxying IPs, not by Whoogle's own architecture.
🚀 Running on Nexlayer
Single-pod, stateless deployment — no DB pod needed at all. Mirror the Python base image via mirror.gcr.io; consider adding rate limiting at the ingress since public unauthenticated instances are prone to abuse and IP-blocking from Google.
