This project is a high-performance Proxy Server built using Golang, Redis, and Docker. It efficiently handles multiple client requests, distributes traffic across backend servers, and optimizes responses through caching. The goal is to improve scalability, performance, and security for web applications.
- Goroutine-Based Concurrency → Efficiently handles multiple connections.
- Load Balancing → Distributes traffic using Round Robin / Least Connections strategy.
- Caching (Redis LRU) → Stores frequently requested responses to reduce backend load.
- Connection Pooling → Maintains persistent connections for faster request forwarding.
- Rate Limiting → Prevents excessive requests from overloading the backend.
- Logging & Monitoring → Tracks request details, errors, and server health.
- Timeout & Retry Mechanism → Retries failed requests and handles timeouts gracefully.
- Dockerized Deployment → Easy containerization for scalable and portable deployment.
- Golang → Efficient concurrency & networking capabilities.
- Redis → Caching and rate limiting with LRU eviction strategy.
- Docker → Containerization for scalability & deployment.
Client → Proxy Server → Load Balancer → Backend Servers
⬆️ ⬇️
Redis Cache (for caching responses)
- The proxy intercepts client requests and checks Redis cache.
- If cache hit ✅ → Serve response from Redis.
- If cache miss ❌ → Forward request to backend via load balancer.
- Store response in Redis before sending it to the client.
- Install Golang (>=1.18)
- Install Docker & Docker Compose
- Install Redis
