DV2603 Project

A small Docker-based microservice project that demonstrates request distribution across multiple workers.

What it does

• Uses NGINX as the entry point (proxy)
• Routes traffic through a custom Python load balancer (loadbalancer)
• Serves responses from three Python workers (worker1, worker2, worker3)

The load balancer can run in:

• round_robin
• random
• load_based

Run

From the repository root:

docker compose up --build

Open:

• http://localhost/ (recommended, via proxy)

Stop

docker compose down
