Introduction

Welcome to Synthra Project! This project aims to provide a customizable and efficient load balancing solution for distributing incoming traffic across multiple servers. It's designed to be modular and feature-rich, allowing users to easily integrate it into their infrastructure.

Features

1. Load Balancing Algorithms

Supports primary load balancing algorithms to suit different scenarios:

• Round Robin
• Weighted Round Robin
• Least Connections
• Source IP Hash

2. Health Checks

Your Load Balancer includes robust health checking capabilities to ensure optimal server performance and availability:

• HTTP/HTTPS Health Checks
  • Decides how often health checks should be performed and set timeout values for the health check requests. For example, it can perform health checks every few seconds or minutes. If a server fails a health check, you may configure to retry the check a few more times before declaring it as unhealthy.

3. Dynamic Server Pooling

• Dynamic Server Pooling: Update the load balancer's server pool dynamically based on the health status. Remove unhealthy servers from the rotation and add them back when they are healthy again.

N. Other Features (will add soon)

Getting Started

Installation

1. Clone this repository. (will publish on npm once its ready)
2. Navigate to the project directory.
3. Install dependencies with npm install.

Usage

1. Run your load balancer with npm start
2. Monitor server health and traffic distribution via the provided API functions.
3. Open test directory and use API functions in config.js and customize the configuration settings as needed.
4. Configure load balancing algorithms, health check settings, and other features.
