Solutions / Load Balancer
Load Balancer
A software load balancer that shares traffic across servers so a service stays fast when one machine is busy or down.
Core features
Traffic distribution
Sends each request to a server in the pool by round robin, least connections, or weight.
Health checks
Stops sending traffic to a server that fails its check, and brings it back when it recovers.
Session persistence
Keeps a user on the same server when the application needs it.
Graceful drain
Moves traffic off a server before maintenance, without dropping the service.
HTTP and TCP
Balances web applications and plain TCP services.
Failure handling
Keeps the service available when a single node fails.
