How to get started with load balancing

  1. Choose a load balancing provider that matches your application type, traffic patterns, and geographic distribution needs.
  2. Set up multiple backend servers or instances to distribute traffic across.
  3. Configure health checks to monitor server availability and automatically remove unhealthy servers.
  4. Implement SSL termination at the load balancer level for better performance and security.
  5. Configure session persistence if your application requires sticky sessions.
  6. Monitor performance metrics and adjust load balancing algorithms as needed for optimal distribution.

Load Balancing FAQs

What is load balancing?
Load balancing distributes incoming network traffic across multiple servers to ensure no single server becomes overwhelmed, improving performance, reliability, and availability.
How much does load balancing cost?
Load balancing typically costs $0.0225-0.025/hour for cloud providers, with additional charges for data transfer. On-premise solutions have upfront costs but no ongoing hourly fees.
What features should I look for?
Essential features include traffic distribution algorithms, health checks, SSL termination, auto-scaling integration, geographic distribution, and session persistence options.
Which provider is best for load balancing?
AWS ELB, Google Cloud Load Balancer, and Azure Load Balancer are excellent for cloud environments. NGINX and HAProxy are great for on-premise solutions. F5 BIG-IP is ideal for enterprise needs.
How does load balancing work?
Load balancers receive incoming requests and distribute them across multiple backend servers using algorithms like round-robin, least connections, or weighted distribution based on server capacity.
Why are some providers ranked higher than others?
Our rankings prioritize providers with excellent traffic distribution capabilities, high availability features, comprehensive monitoring, global presence, and proven reliability based on real-world testing and user experience.
