Top 23 load-balancer Open-Source Projects

• traefik

  183 47,726 9.2 Go

  The Cloud Native Application Proxy

  

Project mention: How to securely reverse-proxy ASP.NET Core web apps | dev.to | 2024-04-04

However, it's very unlikely that .NET developers will directly expose their Kestrel-based web apps to the internet. Typically, we use other popular web servers like Nginx, Traefik, and Caddy to act as a reverse-proxy in front of Kestrel for various reasons:

• PM2

  58 40,661 6.8 JavaScript

  Node.js Production Process Manager with a built-in Load Balancer.

Project mention: Deploy Node.js applications on a VPS using Coolify | dev.to | 2024-04-20

• InfluxDB

• fabio

  7 7,252 0.0 Go

  Consul Load-Balancing made simple

  

Project mention: Replicating and Load Balancing Go Applications in Docker Containers with Consul and Fabio | /r/golang | 2023-05-31

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.

• metallb

  78 6,611 9.4 Go

  A network load-balancer implementation for Kubernetes using standard routing protocols

  

Project mention: Self hosted kubernetes | /r/selfhosted | 2023-11-02

Hey guys, I want to share a guide I’m pretty proud of which is talking about setting up kubernetes which leverages https://kubespray.io/#/ and https://metallb.universe.tf/ so you can host this yourself most people when spinning up kubernetes opt for k3s or get stuck with all the options or unable to setup the external ips for their services so these tools will eliminate the problem.

• haproxy

  16 4,445 9.9 C

  HAProxy Load Balancer's development branch (mirror of git.haproxy.org)

  

Project mention: HAProxy is not affected by the HTTP/2 Rapid Reset Attack (CVE-2023-44487) | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-10-11

I wanted to try it out just now but hit a roadblock immediately - it cannot automatically obtain and maintain TLS certificates. You have to use an external client (e.g. acme.sh), set up a cron to check/renew them, and poke HAProxy to reload them if necessary. I'm way past doing this in 2023.

Project mention: Nginx fork with builtin auto HTTPS certificate obtaining from Let's Encrypt | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-29

32 user: Dmitry Volyntsev

Source: https://hg.nginx.org/nginx/

Valentin, Ruslan and Vladimir currently are working on Angie.

Igor actually doesn't contribute to nginx since 2012... there are only few small commits after these dates, most of his contributions are between 2002 and 2012.

Maxim now works on freenginx alone. And here is a response from Angie developer about consolidation with freenginx: https://github.com/webserver-llc/angie/issues/74 - why it won't happen.
