gRPC - Load Balancing
Description
This example demonstrates how to implement gRPC load balancing in GoFrame applications. It shows how to:
- Configure
gRPCload balancers - Implement different balancing strategies
- Build resilient distributed systems

The example showcases the following features:
Load Balancing
- Round-robin balancing
- Weight-based balancing
- Least connection balancing
- Custom balancing strategies
Service Management
- Service registration
- Health checking
- Failover handling
- Connection management
Protocol Support
gRPCservices- Protocol buffer messages
- Custom metadata handling
- Stream processing
Requirements
Prerequisites
- Protocol buffer compiler installed:
# For macOS brew install protobuf # Install protoc-gen-go and protoc-gen-go-grpc go install google.golang.org/protobuf/cmd/protoc-gen-go@latest go install google.golang.org/grpc/cmd/protoc-gen-go-grpc@latest
Usage
Generate protocol buffer code:
cd protobuf protoc --go_out=paths=source_relative:. --go-grpc_out=paths=source_relative:. *.protoStart multiple server instances:
cd server # Start first instance on a random free port go run server.go # Start second instance on a random free port go run server.goRun the client:
cd client go run client.go
