Cardea is designed to be a high reliable and extremely fast TCP reverse proxy able to handle multiple backends with a load balancing strategy. We currently support two types of balancing policies:
- Round Robin [ROUND_ROBIN]
- Random Selection [RANDOM]
dev:
You can use Cardea as a standalone application or embedded in your application. Start cardea as a standalone application using command line
java -jar cardea-server-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar -p 8081 -bp ROUND_ROBIN -b host:port,host:port,host:port... Embedded:
import CardeaServer;
import CardeaServerFactory;
import Backend;
import BackendBalancingType;
import CardeaConfig;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
