Custom Load Balancer

• I worked in a group to develop a custom implementation of a load balancer and analyse different load balancing algorithms.
• Utilized GitHub for version control and Jira for setting up a backlog and sprints as part of our agile methodology. I helped develop the core functionality of the project using Go and an extensive use of synchronisation techniques such as mutexes to ensure safe multithreaded programming.
• Implemented health checks on the servers using Goroutines.
• Set up an endpoint for load balancer metrics and analysed different algorithms using Jupyter notebook.
• Provided Docker files and set up a GitHub workflow to run both unit and integration tests as part of the CI/CD.
