A lightweight load balancer for creating scalable and highly-available Selenium clusters.
Go Grid Router (Ggr) is a lightweight active load balancer specifically designed for creating scalable and highly-available Selenium clusters. It solves the problem of managing large-scale parallel test execution by efficiently distributing Selenium WebDriver requests across multiple nodes.
QA engineers, DevOps teams, and developers who need to run Selenium tests at scale with reliable load balancing and cluster management.
Developers choose Ggr for its simplicity, efficiency, and Docker-native deployment, making it easier to build and maintain large Selenium grids compared to manual configuration or heavier alternatives.

Actively distributes Selenium WebDriver sessions across nodes, optimizing resource usage as shown in the animation and documentation for efficient parallel testing.
Enables horizontal scaling to handle thousands of concurrent test sessions, making it ideal for large-scale automation setups described in the articles and quick start guide.
Provides fault tolerance by routing traffic only to healthy Selenium nodes, ensuring reliable test execution even during node failures.
Easily deployable as a Docker container, simplifying setup and management, as evidenced by the Docker pull stats and run commands in the README.
The README explicitly marks the project as UNMAINTAINED, recommending an alternative (Moon), which means no updates, bug fixes, or security patches.
Requires manual creation and management of XML files for user quotas, which can be verbose and error-prone compared to modern configuration tools.
Involves multiple steps like setting up htpasswd files and Docker containers, which may be cumbersome for teams seeking plug-and-play solutions.
