Reasons for Load Balancing
Fault Tolerance - Load Balancing offers fault tolerance incase a server fails.
Server Upgrades - It’s easier to upgrade hardware if you can take entire machines offline without effecting user experience.
Hardware Performance - having as few users on a single server as possible will provide users with the best experience
Network Performance - Users can be routed to the servers that are physically closest to them
A/B Testing - New server configurations can be tested easily
Types of Load Balancing
Hardware - Load Balancing Hardware is networking equipment you would install in your data center to route traffic to your servers
Built In - Many products have Load Balancing built into them such as Microsoft Active Directory
As a Service - Companies such as Cloudflare now provide Load Balancing services for your internet connected servers.

This is amazing! Eli is HERE! I heard from Eli himself that he was leaving this platform all together a couple years ago and I hadn't been back. I am both surprised and glad to see new/current content. I have always appreciated how he approaches the topics he covers.

Amazing explanation.

So just buy 3 boxes for each Location (Tokio,New York,Baltimor,...)
Put copies of the same Website/Service on each box.
And you are save from CPU-fan failure. And have Privacy securitie.

I would like to know if the load balancer is phisically connected to the router or switch in an actual infrastructure or it goes directly from the border router to the load balancer
