Load Balancers

For other web developers out there here is one portion of the computer world that is hot right now: load balancers.

What are load balancers?

They are machines which distribute traffic to one or more machines for a certain website.

Imagine expecting a lot of traffic on your website. One machine cannot handle all of that traffic alone. You need one or more machines.

To be able to pull that off, you need one or more load balancers.

How do load balancers function?

They receive initial traffic then distribute them to other machines to be processed.

Big internet companies like Facebook and Google use load balancers to handle billions of traffic.

It is imperative for web developers to be familiar with load balancers because it is a topic that is very much en vogue right now.

Knowledge of them can definitely give you an edge in the industry. Plus, this knowledge can help you in creating and/or innovating new technology.

For more information about load balancers, don't be shy research and/or google them on the internet.

The idea is very straightforward.

This could only be beneficial.

Thank you for letting me share this with you.
