💡A network load balancer distributes incoming traffic across multiple application servers to ensure scalability and a smooth user experience.
🌐Cloud-native architectures rely on load balancers to assign traffic and dynamically scale application servers based on their workload.
💰Load balancers can help optimize costs by dynamically scaling application servers and turning them off when not needed.
🔄Different load balancing algorithms, such as round robin, smart load balancing, and random select, offer different ways to distribute traffic among application servers.
📊Continuous monitoring and communication between the load balancer and application servers allow for efficient load distribution and management.
