Introduction

Long time all of us used and using common load balancers / proxies like nginx, haproxy , etc… But in modern world balancing become more end more flexible because of environment changes are made more often . Nodes behind balancer are spawning and disappears according to load and/or requirements. Auto scaling and containers become a silver bullet in modern it infrastructure architectures.

In ip-telephony world SRV records are a main system to determine nearest and less loaded call router. Same in microservices world , but unfortunately no one lb/router have no complete AUTOMATIC DISCOVERY implementation. Only tricks like this . We trying to cover this emptiness .

Here is when gobetween comes into play!

Main goal of this project is to build small, fast and easy configurable proxy for the cloud ☁️ era.
