Using Pipy as software load balancer
Load balancing is used to optimize resource utilization, maximizing throughput, reducing latency, ensuring fault-toreant configurations, ensuring availability, and improving application responsiveness. Traditionally, load balancers consist of a hardware appliance. Yet they are increasingly becoming software-defined. Both types of load balancers implements different types of scheduling algorithms and routing mechanisms. In this article we will be focusing on software load balancer and how Pipy can be used to build a very efficient HTTP load balancer.
