PDF OCR Distributor

A high-performance, distributed OCR processing system designed for large-scale document processing operations. Implements advanced load balancing and intelligent server rotation mechanisms to optimize resource utilization across multiple OCR processing nodes.

🚀 Key Features

• Intelligent Load Distribution: Sophisticated algorithm for distributing PDF processing tasks across multiple OCR servers
• Dynamic Server Health Monitoring: Real-time health checks with automatic server exclusion and reintegration
• Adaptive Queue Management: Smart queuing system with automatic retry mechanisms and server capacity awareness
• Real-time Processing Visualization: Advanced terminal-based UI for monitoring system status and processing metrics
• Concurrent Processing: Leverages Go's powerful concurrency patterns for optimal performance
• Fault Tolerance: Robust error handling and automatic recovery mechanisms
• MongoDB Integration: Efficient document state management and persistence
• WebSocket Support: Real-time processing status updates via web interface
