Load Balancer

A device or software that distributes incoming network traffic across multiple backend servers. Load balancers improve availability, reliability, and performance by ensuring no single server is overwhelmed. They can operate at Layer 4 (TCP) or Layer 7 (HTTP). A misconfigured load balancer can cause 502 Bad Gateway or 503 Service Unavailable errors.
