Python server and minimal load balancer in Go deployed as a microservice.

HOW TO RUN :

1. ./scripts.sh
2. host-machine browser is our client. Try hitting http://localhost:8000/ multiple times. Each time, we have request routed by load-balancer to different server container.

HOW IT WORKS :

Inside python-flask-server, we have dockerfile to create server container. We spin up two server containers.

Inside go-load-balancer, we have dockerfile to create a simple load-balancer. Client requests are handled by this server. And it forwards them to each server in round-robin fashion.

NOTE : Although not practical, for demonstration purpose, all three containers are in same network-interface i.e. they emulate as if they are on a same network (imagine 3 machines connected to a router ).
