Load balancer for http(s) and websocket services
Current supported balance policy:
- Round robin: requests are evenly distributed to each worker
TODO:
- Least connected: requests are always distributed to the worker that has least connected clients
- Weighted: requests are distributed according the weight assgined
- IP Hashing: The target worker is determined by the hash of IP address of the client that initiated the request
Make a round-robin load balancer:
var balancer = require("xbalancer")({
port: 8888,
targets: ["http://localhost:8001", "http://localhost:8002"]
});
balancer.start(function() {
console.log("xBalancer is up and running at port 8888");
});
That's dead simple!
Remember:
- proxying websocket is enabled by default
- this is basically a reverse proxy
- Benchmarks
- Really hopes to find a way to do Direct Route or IP Tunneling.
