Quick Explanation of Load Balancing | Distributed Systems | System Design

Описание: Some features of load balancing:

High availability
Ensures the system has no single point of failure, which provides fault tolerance and high availability to handle server failures

Scalability
Makes it easier to scale resources up or down as needed, which helps to handle spikes in traffic or changes in demand

Efficient resource utilization
Ensures that resources are used efficiently, which reduces wastage and helps to optimize costs

Session persistence
Sends all requests from a client to the same server for the duration of the session

Failover
Redirects requests to alternate servers if the originally requested server is unavailable or too slow
