Hey, I'm Logan! I'm building OpenGSLB, an open-source Global Server Load Balancer that gives you enterprise-grade DNS-based traffic routing without the enterprise price tag.
The problem: Commercial GSLB solutions like F5 BIG-IP DNS and Citrix NetScaler cost tens of thousands of dollars annually. Meanwhile, there's virtually no viable open-source alternative for organizations that need multi-datacenter failover with complete control over their infrastructure.
The solution: OpenGSLB is a self-hosted, MIT-licensed GSLB written in Go. It handles intelligent DNS-based routing across your datacenters with sub-5 second failover, multiple routing algorithms (round-robin, weighted, failover, geolocation), health checking, and full Prometheus observability—all without phoning home or vendor lock-in.
Who it's for:
Regulated industries requiring data sovereignty
High-security environments that can't use external services
Cost-conscious teams tired of paying for overpriced enterprise solutions
Anyone who believes critical infrastructure shouldn't require a sales call
What your support helps with:
Dedicated development time on nights and weekends
Cloud infrastructure for multi-region testing
GeoIP database licensing for geolocation routing
Documentation, tutorials, and community building
Every coffee helps keep this project moving forward. If OpenGSLB saves your organization money or gives you capabilities you couldn't otherwise afford, consider supporting continued development.
Thanks for believing in open infrastructure! ☕
Goals (optional tiers):
☕ 5 coffees/month - Covers basic cloud testing infrastructure
☕☕ 15 coffees/month - Enables multi-region deployment testing
☕☕☕ 30 coffees/month - Supports a dedicated development day per week
