Scala Load Balancer using Akka HTTP and Akka Actors

Developed a load balancer in Scala using Akka HTTP and Akka Actors. This load balancer efficiently distributes incoming requests across multiple backend servers to ensure high availability and reliability.

Key Features

• Round-Robin Load Balancing: Distributes requests evenly across available servers using the round-robin algorithm.
• Health Checks: Periodically verifies the health of backend servers and adjusts the list of active servers accordingly.
• Resilience: Automatically removes failed servers from the active list and redistributes requests to ensure continuous availability.

Key Technologies Used

• Scala: The programming language used to implement the load balancer.
• Akka HTTP: Handles HTTP requests and responses for managing incoming traffic.
• Akka Actors: Provides the framework for building a concurrent, distributed, and fault-tolerant application.

Project Overview

This project showcases how Akka HTTP and Akka Actors can be leveraged to build a robust load balancer that handles high traffic volumes and maintains consistent service availability.
