Ever wanted the servers behind your loadbalancer to register themself with the it? Ever wished your loadbalancer would react on high load or other events on the backend servers?
This project will solve your problems (as soon as its finished, haha...).
- A new node registers itself at its loadbalancers
- Loadbalancer gets in a defined period of time announcements from the nodes about their current status
- Loadbalancer weights the nodes according to their status
- It will be easy to write your own node-plugin (want to check Seconds_behind_master on a MySQL-Slave?)
- In the first version, there will be just generic TCP-relaying, soon after that there will be HTTP-Proxying
- Primarily based on AMQP/RabbitMQ
- Node check-in at the loadbalancer
- Monitoring the heartbeat of a node
- Simple TCP-Weighted-Round-Robin Loadbalancer
- Hacky start scripts for each
- Status-CLI which outputs some JSON :)
- Nice start scripts
- Nice CLI
- Plugin infrastructure for the weighting
- Live rebalancing when the weight of a node changes
- Everything is a plugin
- Want to use STOMP instead of AMQP?
- Easily write your own checks on a node
- Webinterface
- HTTP-Proxying (including Varnish-Cache?)
- SMTP-Proxying
- Install & start RabbitMQ
- Start the loadbalancer:
ruby bin/cloudbalancer-loadbalancer- Start the echo servers:
ruby bin/echo-server.rb
ruby bin/echo-server2.rb- Start the nodes
ruby bin/cloudbalancer-node
ruby bin/cloudbalancer-node2- Connect to localhost:8080 with netcat
nc localhost 8080
