ARLB - Experimental Reverse Proxy and Load Balancer
Super simple, experimental reverse proxy (load balancer) in Golang.
go run .
Tasklist
[x] Basic working LB with pre-configured backend
[ ] Benchmark performance against NGINX and other LBs
[x] Ability to add register a new backend on the fly
[ ] stats command to output stats per backend server. Stats could include number of requests, average time taken, etc.
[x] Pluggable algorithm for load balancing: Round Robin, Consistent Hasshing, etc.
[ ] Export LB metrics and visualize it through Grafana.
[ ] Connection Pooling
[ ] If protocol/scheme specific then identify response status/codes and dump it into metrics
[ ] Ability to healthcheck and stop/start routing traffic to heaalthy ones
[x] Consistent Hashing for load balancing
[x] Unique ID to request
[x] Simulate Balancing Strategy by giving request id
[x] Topology per strategy
[ ] Handle backend becoming unhealthy for all balancing strategy
