Load Balancing Algorithms - How They Work

The article provides an overview of system design fundamentals with a focus on load balancing algorithms. Load balancing is the process of distributing network traffic across multiple servers, which allows for efficient resource utilization and increases application availability. The author discusses various types of load balancing algorithms, including 'Round Robin', 'Least Connections', and 'Hashing'. Each of these algorithms has its own advantages and disadvantages depending on the project scale and performance requirements. The article also includes practical examples of each algorithm's implementation, making it easier to understand their real-world significance. To conclude, the author emphasizes the importance of ongoing performance monitoring and optimization to meet the growing demands of users.
