Load Balancing
Distribute traffic for high availability and performance.
By intelligently distributing incoming traffic across multiple servers, we improve performance and maintain service continuity if a single server fails. Health checks automatically remove problematic nodes from the pool.
Methods
- L4 (TCP/UDP) and L7 (HTTP/HTTPS) load balancing
- Round-robin, least-connections and weighted distribution
- Session persistence
- SSL offloading to reduce server load
High Availability
With active-active or active-passive setups, the load balancer itself is redundant. With auto-scaling, servers are added to the backend pool as traffic grows.
- Health checks and automatic failure handling
- Flexible capacity through horizontal scaling
- Seamless drain during maintenance
