This project is based on educational purpose to demonstrate load balancing.
This project is simple enough and easy to setup to enable a novice to practice several Nginx configurations and see the application's comportement change. Make sure you have a system with 4 CPU cores at least! Otherwise your computer could freeze the time to process all of your requests.
