DigitalOcean Load Balancers allow you to split incoming traffic between multiple backend servers. Often this is used to distribute HTTP requests among a group of application servers to increase overall capacity. This is a common way to scale your application.
Load Balancers also offer other use cases. For example, they can increase the reliability of your site, or improve your deployment and testing processes. In this tutorial, we will review five Load Balancer use cases.
Before we begin, you should familiarize yourself with the basics of DigitalOcean’s Load Balancers by reading our tutorial An Introduction to DigitalOcean Load Balancers.

Nice to read :)
Would love to see an unattended API only version of this. Is the load balancer available via API like Amazon?
Are the deployment diagram graphics available on some kind of diagram tool ? It would be nice to use DO specific icons when creating deployment diagrams.
Hi guys, good article. I’m curios about how the load balancer handle the web socket connection.
