Load Balancing Algorithms
← Back to Load Balancing
Strategies for distributing requests across backend servers. Round robin distributes evenly in order. Weighted round robin accounts for different server capacities. Least connections routes to the server with fewest active connections. IP hash routes the same client to the same server. Consistent hashing minimizes redistribution when servers change.
