antnode

AntNode is a Python library designed for load balancing, real-time metrics collection, and caching. It helps distribute incoming traffic across multiple backend nodes efficiently while tracking performance data. Load Balancing - Round-Robin strategy for even traffic distribution - Adaptive strategy based on node health for intelligent routing - Extensible strategy system allowing custom implementations - Health-based node selection to avoid unhealthy servers Metrics Collection - Request tracking across routed traffic - Node health monitoring with detailed reporting - PostgreSQL storage backend for persistent metric data - Custom metric labels for flexible querying - Compatible with Grafana for visualization Caching - Redis integration for fast cache layers - Configurable time-to-live (TTL) settings - Cache statistics tracking Prerequisites - Python 3.10+ - PostgreSQL 12+ (required) - Redis (optional, for caching) The project follows a modular structure with core modules handling the balancer, metrics, and storage logic, an integrations layer for Redis caching, and example scripts including a Flask demo and basic usage guide.
