Understanding Load Balancing A Thread 🧡

Load balancing is a core networking solution used to distribute traffic across multiple servers in a server farm. Load balancers improve application availability and responsiveness and prevent server overload.

Load balancing was introduced for various reasons.
One of them is to improve the speed and performance of each single device, and the other is to protect individual devices from hitting their limits by reducing their performance.

Each load balancer sits between client devices and backend servers, receiving and then distributing incoming requests to any available server capable of fulfilling them.

Cloud load balancing is defined as dividing workload and computing properties in cloud computing. It enables enterprises to manage workload demands or application demands by distributing resources among multiple computers, networks or servers.

Cloud load balancing involves managing the movement of workload traffic and demands over the Internet.
