Introduction

The proxy server is implemented using Golang and leverages the net/http package. It provides a flexible way to route incoming requests to differenet backend servers based on the configurations specified in a YAML file.

Usage

To use the reverse proxy server, follow the steps outlined below:

1. Clone the repository to your local machine.
2. Configure the proxy server using the config.yaml file.
3. Run the proxy server using the provided Golang code.

Configuration

The configuration file (config.yaml) is used to define the server settings and resources (backend servers) to which requests should be proxied. Below is an example configuration:

server: 
  host: "localhost:
  listen_port: "8080"

resources: 
  - name: Server1 
    endpoint: /server1 
    destination_url: "http://localhost:9001"
  - name: Server2 
    endpoint: /server2 
    destination_url: "http://localhost:9002"
  - name: Server3
    enpoint: /server3 
    destination_url: "http://localhost:9003"

Run the Proxy Server

To run the proxy server, execute the go run command

go run main.go
