This project implements a simple and thread-safe load balancer in Go, capable of distributing incoming HTTP requests among multiple backend servers using a round-robin algorithm. Each backend server is represented as an interface, allowing flexibility in defining server behavior and health checks.
- Round-Robin Load Balancing: Requests are evenly distributed across available servers.
- Thread-Safe Implementation: Uses
sync.Mutexto ensure safe access to shared resources. - Dynamic Server Addition: Easily extendable to add or remove backend servers.
The load balancer listens on a specified port and forwards incoming requests to backend servers based on a round-robin selection mechanism. It ensures that only healthy servers receive requests by checking their health status through the Server interface.
- Go 1.16 or later installed on your machine.
- Root Endpoint
/: All incoming requests are load balanced among the configured backend servers.
