Simple Go Load Balancer

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.

Features

  • Round-Robin Load Balancing: Requests are evenly distributed across available servers.
  • Thread-Safe Implementation: Uses sync.Mutex to ensure safe access to shared resources.
  • Dynamic Server Addition: Easily extendable to add or remove backend servers.

How It Works

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.

Usage

Requirements

  • Go 1.16 or later installed on your machine.

API Endpoints

  • Root Endpoint /: All incoming requests are load balanced among the configured backend servers.
