Load Distrix Project Code of Conduct

Welcome

Welcome to the Load Distrix repository! Load Distrix is a simple HTTP load balancer written in Go, designed to distribute incoming HTTP requests across multiple backend servers, ensuring high availability and fault tolerance. The load balancer uses a round-robin algorithm to efficiently cycle through available backend servers, retrying failed requests and marking unresponsive servers as down. Our project is committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for all contributors, regardless of their background or level of expertise.

Our Pledge

We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in Load Distrix a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.

We pledge to contribute in ways that promote a respectful, inclusive, and collaborative environment, ensuring that all members feel safe, supported, and encouraged to contribute to the development of this project.
