Distributing network traffic across multiple servers to ensure no single server is overwhelmed.
Why it matters

- Improves availability through redundancy
- Distributes load evenly across resources
When to use
- When running multiple server instances
- When high availability is required
- When traffic exceeds single server capacity
Common mistakes
- Not configuring health checks properly
- Using wrong load balancing algorithm for the use case
- Not considering session affinity requirements
