RLFT-Arch-Simulator

Description

RLFT-Arch-Simulator is a simulation of an architecture for a rate-limited fault-tolerant server implemented in GoLang. Please note that this project does not represent a real server, nor does it send or process requests like an actual server. Instead, it provides a simulated environment for exploring and understanding the architectural concepts involved in building a rate-limited fault-tolerant server.

Introduction

The RLFT-Arch-Simulator project aims to demonstrate the principles of building a rate-limited fault-tolerant server using GoLang. While it does not function as a production server, it serves as a valuable educational tool for those interested in understanding the underlying architecture of such systems.

Architecture Explanation

Components

• Cluster
• Node
• Client Code

Cluster:

The cluster's job is to create, spawn and monitor nodes health.

Node:

Handle requests and sends response back to client (max k reqs at the time i.e each node is rate-limited)

Client Code

• sendRequest routine - sends requests to a single channel (unbuffered)
• responseGrabber routine - receives response from nodes

Features

• Simulation of rate-limited fault-tolerant server architecture.
• Written in GoLang, making it easy to explore the codebase.
• Educational resource for learning about server architecture concepts.

Running the simulation

To get started with RLFT-Arch-Simulator, you can follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository to your local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/anurag0608/RLFT-Arch-Simulator.git

2. cd RLFT-Arch-Simulator

3. go run .

Usage

This project primarily serves an educational purpose. You can explore the code files to gain insights into the architecture of a rate-limited fault-tolerant server. Feel free to modify and experiment with the code to better understand the concepts involved.
