upstream/backend container #91

Closed jonmorehouse closed 8 years ago

jonmorehouse commented 8 years ago

I keep solving this problem alot and it seems to me like we could add some general "container" utilities that help us manage upstreams and backends.

Let's introduce two types:

StateContainer - this let's us add a backend/upstream and iterate over all of them. It should be goroutine safe as well and should handle the various mappings that we'd like such as fetching an upstream's backends, a backend's upstream etc.
SyncedStateContainer - this accepts a manager and wraps a StateContainer allowing us to keep a container in sync with a manager.

(maybe call this ServiceContainer)
