golangconsuldiscovery
Replicating and Load Balancing Go Applications in Docker Containers with Consul and Fabio. More details in my article on Better Programming:

consul
Consul is a distributed, highly available, and data center aware solution to connect and configure applications across dynamic, distributed infrastructure.
After some research and testing, I landed on using Consul and Fabio as the demo infrastructure. Of course, there is a myriad of other options to accomplish this task, but because of the low configuration and ease of use, I was impressed with this pairing. Both projects are mature and well-supported, and very flexible--just because you can run them with low configuration, doesn't mean you have to. I wanted to keep this demo constrained, but the exercise did get me excited about exploring things further: circuit breakers, traffic splitting, and more complex service meshes.

Glad it was helpful! I had never heard of it before either, but it looks like it's been around since 2015. I've leaned on Traefik a lot in the past, but Fabio seemed to be a lot simpler. Simplicity was the rule of thumb for this exercise, So I didn't dig too hard for performance comparisons...
