Load Balancer with Backend Server Management

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.

Endpoints

• 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/
