# Microservices Load Balancer

This project implements a microservices load balancer using Flask, designed to handle dynamic configuration updates, support multiple load balancing algorithms, provide HTTPS to microservices, implement circuit breakers and retries, offer a clean web UI, and support WebSocket and HTTP/2 protocols.

## Features

1. Load Balancing Algorithms:

Implements Round Robin, Least Connections, and Weighted Round Robin algorithms.

2. Dynamic Configuration:

Dynamically updates configuration without requiring restarts.

3. Health Checks:

Implements health checks to direct traffic only to healthy servers.

4. Scalability:

Designed to scale horizontally, supporting auto-discovery of new servers and dynamic configuration updates.

5. Logging and Monitoring:

Provides logging to track requests, responses, and server health.

Integrates with monitoring tools for performance insights.

6. Security:

Ensures secure handling of traffic, supporting SSL termination and security protocols.

7. Circuit Breakers and Retries:

Implements circuit breakers and retry mechanisms for enhanced reliability.

WebSocket and HTTP/2 Support:

8. Supports WebSocket and HTTP/2 protocols for diverse microservices communication.

## Getting Started

- Installation:

`pip install Flask`

- Run the Flask App:

`python app.py`

- Configuration:

Update configuration dynamically using the /update-config endpoint.

- Web UI:

Access the web UI at `http://localhost:5000`.

## Usage

- Processing Requests:

Send requests to the load balancer endpoint (/) for load-balanced processing.

- Health Checks:

Check the health of the load balancer at /health.

- Updating Configuration:

Use the /update-config endpoint to dynamically add or remove servers.
