Simple load balancer that distributes requests among multiple backend servers. The load balancer adds new backend servers when the load on existing servers exceeds a specified threshold.
-
Load Balancer:
localhost:8000/: Main entry point that forwards requests to backend servers.localhost:8000/health: Health check endpoint to retrieve the current load of all backend servers.
-
Backend Servers:
localhost:8001/b_server1,localhost:8002/b_server2, etc.: Response endpoints for each backend server.
-
Simulate requests using a web browser or a tool like
curl:curl http://localhost:8000/
