Case Study
Load Balancer & Reverse Proxy
Developed a custom load balancer and reverse proxy using Golang for managing traffic and improving application performance.
Overview
This project is a lightweight yet powerful networking tool written in pure Golang. It provides developers and users with essential functionalities for load balancing, reverse proxying, caching, compression, SSL integration, and health checks, all in one place.
The tool is publicly available and can be used by anyone who needs a simple, customizable, and efficient alternative to existing heavy solutions.
Core Features
- Load Balancing: Supports multiple balancing algorithms (Round Robin, Least Connections, IP Hash, Random).
- Reverse Proxy & Forward Proxy: Acts as both a forward and reverse proxy to handle client and server requests seamlessly.
- Caching: Built-in caching layer to improve performance and reduce server load.
- Compression (Gzip): Automatic compression for faster response delivery.
- Security & SSL Integration: Supports SSL/TLS termination for secure communications.
- Health Checks: Monitors backend servers and removes unhealthy ones automatically.
