Load balancing is defined as the methodical and efficient distribution of requests across multiple servers. The load balancer sits between client devices and backend servers, receiving and then distributing incoming requests to a server that is healthy and capable of fulfilling them. A load balancer is a critical component of any distributed system as it helps improve the services offered by increasing availability and responsiveness. As it distributes the traffic across multiple servers, it also helps us avoid a single point of failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
