Project / Software Development
EchidnaLB
EchidnaLB is a high-performance Layer 7 load balancer written in Rust, designed to manage HTTP/HTTPS traffic with support for HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 protocols. It offers multiple load-balancing algorithms, including Round Robin, Weighted Round Robin, IP Hashing, Least Connections, and Least Latency, ensuring efficient traffic distribution across backend servers. The load balancer supports both IPv4 and IPv6 listeners, configurable health checks to monitor server availability, and optional TLS termination with SSL certificates for secure communications.
