The load balancer distributes incoming traffic or requests among multiple servers or resources to ensure high availability and system performance. Main tasks and functions:

  • Load distribution: evenly distributes requests so that no server is overloaded.
  • Increased fault tolerance: redirects traffic to operational nodes if one server fails.
  • Scalability improvement: allows adding or removing servers without service interruption.
  • Server status monitoring: checks the availability and functionality of servers.
  • Support for various load balancing algorithms: round-robin, least connections, IP-hash, etc.

Example: if you have a web application on three servers, the load balancer will direct user requests so that the load is evenly distributed, and in case of a server failure, traffic will be redirected to the remaining servers.
