負載平衡器在現代軟體開發中至關重要。如果您曾經想知道如何在多個伺服器之間分配請求,或者為什麼某些網站即使在流量大的情況下也感覺更快,答案通常在於高效的負載平衡。
在這篇文章中,我們將使用 Go 中的 循環演算法 建立一個簡單的應用程式負載平衡器。這篇文章的目的是逐步了解負載平衡器的底層工作原理。
負載平衡器是一個在多個伺服器之間分配傳入網路流量的系統。它確保沒有任何一台伺服器承受過多的負載,防止瓶頸並改善整體使用者體驗。負載平衡方法還確保如果一台伺服器發生故障,則流量可以自動重新路由到另一台可用的伺服器,從而減少故障的影響並提高可用性。
有不同的演算法和策略來分配流量:
在這篇文章中,我們將專注於實作循環負載平衡器。
循環演算法以循環方式將每個傳入請求傳送到下一個可用伺服器。如果伺服器 A 處理第一個請求,伺服器 B 將處理第二個請求,伺服器 C 將處理第三個請求。一旦所有伺服器都收到請求,它就會從伺服器 A 重新開始。
現在,讓我們進入程式碼並建立我們的負載平衡器!
type LoadBalancer struct { Current int Mutex sync.Mutex }
我們先定義一個簡單的 LoadBalancer 結構,其中包含一個 Current 欄位來追蹤哪個伺服器應該處理下一個請求。互斥體確保我們的程式碼可以安全地同時使用。
我們負載平衡的每個伺服器都是由 Server 結構體定義的:
type Server struct { URL *url.URL IsHealthy bool Mutex sync.Mutex }
這裡,每個伺服器都有一個 URL 和一個 IsHealthy 標誌,該標誌指示伺服器是否可以處理請求。
我們的負載平衡器的核心是循環演算法。其工作原理如下:
func (lb *LoadBalancer) getNextServer(servers []*Server) *Server { lb.Mutex.Lock() defer lb.Mutex.Unlock() for i := 0; i < len(servers); i++ { idx := lb.Current % len(servers) nextServer := servers[idx] lb.Current++ nextServer.Mutex.Lock() isHealthy := nextServer.IsHealthy nextServer.Mutex.Unlock() if isHealthy { return nextServer } } return nil }
我們的設定儲存在 config.json 檔案中,其中包含伺服器 URL 和執行狀況檢查間隔(更多資訊請參閱下一節)。
type Config struct { Port string `json:"port"` HealthCheckInterval string `json:"healthCheckInterval"` Servers []string `json:"servers"` }
設定檔可能如下所示:
{ "port": ":8080", "healthCheckInterval": "2s", "servers": [ "http://localhost:5001", "http://localhost:5002", "http://localhost:5003", "http://localhost:5004", "http://localhost:5005" ] }
We want to make sure that the servers are healthy before routing any incoming traffic to them. This is done by sending periodic health checks to each server:
func healthCheck(s *Server, healthCheckInterval time.Duration) { for range time.Tick(healthCheckInterval) { res, err := http.Head(s.URL.String()) s.Mutex.Lock() if err != nil || res.StatusCode != http.StatusOK { fmt.Printf("%s is down\n", s.URL) s.IsHealthy = false } else { s.IsHealthy = true } s.Mutex.Unlock() } }
Every few seconds (as specified in the config), the load balancer sends a HEAD request to each server to check if it is healthy. If a server is down, the IsHealthy flag is set to false, preventing future traffic from being routed to it.
When the load balancer receives a request, it forwards the request to the next available server using a reverse proxy. In Golang, the httputil package provides a built-in way to handle reverse proxying, and we will use it in our code through the ReverseProxy function:
func (s *Server) ReverseProxy() *httputil.ReverseProxy { return httputil.NewSingleHostReverseProxy(s.URL) }
A reverse proxy is a server that sits between a client and one or more backend severs. It receives the client's request, forwards it to one of the backend servers, and then returns the server's response to the client. The client interacts with the proxy, unaware of which specific backend server is handling the request.
In our case, the load balancer acts as a reverse proxy, sitting in front of multiple servers and distributing incoming HTTP requests across them.
When a client makes a request to the load balancer, it selects the next available healthy server using the round robin algorithm implementation in getNextServer function and proxies the client request to that server. If no healthy server is available then we send service unavailable error to the client.
http.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) { server := lb.getNextServer(servers) if server == nil { http.Error(w, "No healthy server available", http.StatusServiceUnavailable) return } w.Header().Add("X-Forwarded-Server", server.URL.String()) server.ReverseProxy().ServeHTTP(w, r) })
The ReverseProxy method proxies the request to the actual server, and we also add a custom header X-Forwarded-Server for debugging purposes (though in production, we should avoid exposing internal server details like this).
Finally, we start the load balancer on the specified port:
log.Println("Starting load balancer on port", config.Port) err = http.ListenAndServe(config.Port, nil) if err != nil { log.Fatalf("Error starting load balancer: %s\n", err.Error()) }
In this post, we built a basic load balancer from scratch in Golang using a round robin algorithm. This is a simple yet effective way to distribute traffic across multiple servers and ensure that your system can handle higher loads efficiently.
There's a lot more to explore, such as adding sophisticated health checks, implementing different load balancing algorithms, or improving fault tolerance. But this basic example can be a solid foundation to build upon.
