Load Balancer

Balance loads on your servers and across cloud providers to boost the reliability and availability of your content, applications and APIs

Load Balancer

How it works

Traffic distribution and origin monitoring

  • Load Balancer distributes incoming requests across multiple origin servers using configurable algorithms including Round-Robin, Least Connections, and IP Hash.

  • The system respects configured weights enabling customized load distribution based on server capacity and performance requirements.

  • Origin monitoring tracks server health and capacity to ensure optimal resource utilization across available infrastructure.

Traffic loads are effectively distributed across multiple servers, providing scalability and high performance.Traffic loads are effectively distributed across multiple servers, providing scalability and high performance.

Failover and error handling

  • The platform detects origin failures including HTTP 5xx errors, 404 content errors, timeouts, and connectivity issues redirecting traffic to healthy servers.

  • Primary and backup server roles option handle requests to backup origins only when primary servers become unavailable.

  • Configurable timeouts for connection and between bytes provide precise failure detection and response.

Multi-origin flexibility and vendor independence

  • Load Balancer operates across hybrid infrastructures spanning multiple data centers and cloud providers, eliminating single points of failure.

  • The system supports multiple origin addresses per configuration enabling flexible infrastructure scaling and geographic distribution.

  • Vendor-agnostic architecture prevents infrastructure lock-in while maintaining consistent performance across different provider environments.
