Bringing Innovative Load Balancing to NGINX

Abstract

Load equalization remains a very important space of study in engineering for the most part thanks to the increasing demand on knowledge centers and net servers. However, it's rare to envision enhancements in load equalization algorithms enforced outside of pricy specialized hardware. This scientific research is a shot to bring these innovative techniques to NGINX, the business leading open supply load balancer and net server. In addition to implementing a brand new, native NGINX module, I even have developed a straightforward work flow to benchmark and compare the performance of accessible load equalization algorithms in any given production surroundings. My benchmarks indicate that it's possible to require advantage of a lot of refined load distribution techniques while not paying a major performance price in further overhead.
