Lastverteiler
Verteilt den Netzwerkverkehr auf mehrere Server.
Load balancing improves the responsiveness and availability of applications by preventing any single server from becoming a bottleneck. It provides a 'single point of entry' for clients and can perform health checks to ensure traffic is only sent to online servers.

Imagine a very busy restaurant with 10 waiters. A load balancer is like the host at the front door who tells each customer which table to sit at, making sure no single waiter has too many people to serve while others are idle.
🤓 Expert Deep Dive
Layer 4 load balancers work at the transport layer (TCP/UDP) based on IP and port. Layer 7 load balancers work at the application layer, allowing for 'sticky sessions' and routing based on URL paths or headers. Algorithms include Round Robin, Least Connections, and IP Hash.
