Load Balancing

This recipe demonstrates how you can use Nginx as a reverse proxy server and load balance between multiple Echo servers.

Echo​

cookbook/load-balancing/upstream/server.go
loading...

Start servers​

  • cd upstream
  • go run server.go server1 :8081
  • go run server.go server2 :8082

Nginx​

1) Install Nginx​

https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/start/topics/tutorials/install

2) Configure Nginx​

Create a file /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/localhost with the following content:

https://github.com/labstack/echox/blob/master/cookbook/load-balancing/nginx.conf
info

Change listen, server_name, access_log per your need.

3) Restart Nginx​

service nginx restart

Browse to https://localhost:8080, and you should see a webpage being served from either "server 1" or "server 2".
