An example repository for creating scalable websocket server using consistent hashing method. Code is generated with help from ChatGPT! More about this on https://nooptoday.com
You can find raw output codes in chatgpt-raw directory. Full conversations are linked at the top of each file.
src directory contains edited code. Full article here:
- Create .env file and copy contents from env.example
- Run
docker-compose up - It creates 3 server instances with hostnames: node1, node2 and node3
- node_client container connects websockets to node1 server initially, and clients are redirected to correct servers.
Clients connect to node1 instance first, then re-balance through other nodes. However, they should connect to a load balancer address initially instead of a server directly.
You are welcome to open up a PR and create a load balancer!
