Load Balancing is the process of distributing traffic across a group of virtual servers or backend resources (web servers, web apps, containers...) in the most optimal way.
Modern websites or web apps may need to serve hundreds of thousands of customers per day, with millions of concurrent requests. Relying on a single server alone can hardly handle this entire workload. The best solution is to scale the system across multiple servers working together.
Once created and configured, FPT Load Balancer will automatically route traffic and evenly distribute it to the servers in the group, ensuring all requests are optimized for speed and processing efficiency. FPT Load Balancer will also continuously check the availability of the servers; in case one server fails and becomes unreachable, the controller will automatically redirect all traffic to the remaining servers until the faulty one is back online.
Thanks to these characteristics, your service is always guaranteed in terms of performance, processing speed, and system availability at the highest level.
This article will provide you with information about what you need to know before creating an FPT Load Balancer, and how to create and manage it on the FPT Portal.
