This is a simple pet project of mine. A simple toy Hash based Load balancer.

How it works

The HTTP server receives a POST request which contains a random string which is to be written in the DATABASE (txt files act as databases). The server thus hashes the input and writes it to the database alongside the original data since hashes have a possibility of 16 characters: (0123456789ABCDEF).
