Cloud load balancing<\/b> is the process of distributing incoming network traffic across multiple servers to ensure no single server is overwhelmed. It acts as a traffic cop for your website or application, intelligently directing requests to available resources. This practice is essential for high-traffic applications because it guarantees performance, reliability, and scalability.<\/p>\nHow It Works<\/h3>\n
A load balancer sits between your users and your application\u2019s servers. Instead of users sending requests directly to a specific server, all requests go to the load balancer\u2019s single, public IP address. The load balancer then uses a set of rules and algorithms to decide which server in the \u201cpool\u201d should handle each request.<\/p>\n
The core functions of a cloud load balancer for a high-traffic application include:<\/p>\n
There are two primary types of load balancers, each operating at a different level of the network stack:<\/p>\n
