Load Balancer
A load balancer acts as the "traffic cop" of the network world, distributing network and application traffic across multiple servers or networks. This distribution ensures that no single server or network becomes a bottleneck or point of failure. Load balancers optimize the performance and reliability of applications by evenly distributing requests, improving response times, and providing failover capabilities. They are essential in environments with high traffic volumes, ensuring efficient handling of user requests and maintaining service availability.
