# Golang Round-Robin Load Balancer

This is a simple round-robin load balancer implemented in Golang. It distributes incoming HTTP requests evenly among a list of backend servers.

## Usage

1. Clone the repository:

```bash

git clone https://github.com/swarajkumarsingh/load-balancer.git

```

2. Build and run the load balancer:

```bash

go build main.go

./main

```

3. Send HTTP requests to the load balancer's endpoint (e.g., http://localhost:8080) to distribute them among your backend servers.

## Configuration

### You can configure the load balancer by modifying the main.go file. Here are the key points for configuration:

- Add or remove backend server URLs in the backendServers slice in the main function.

- You can change the port on which the load balancer listens by modifying the port variable in the main function.

## Dependencies

The load balancer uses the following Go standard library packages:

- net/http: For creating the HTTP server.

- net/http/httputil: For creating reverse proxies.

- net/url: For parsing and handling URLs.
