Load Balancing
Following adds this technology to your private workspace so related learning is easier to organise and revisit.
What is Load Balancing?
Load balancing distributes client traffic across multiple service instances to improve availability, capacity and response time. This profile connects the concept to KBY's practical engineering guidance.
Balancers operate at transport or application layers and use health checks and selection algorithms to avoid failed or overloaded targets. Session state, connection draining, retries and observability determine whether distribution remains safe during change and failure.
Spread demand across healthy service instances while presenting a stable endpoint.
