In modern software architecture—especially with the rise of microservices—efficient request routing and system scalability are critical. Two key components that help manage this are the API Gateway and the Load Balancer.- Published on
When designing scalable systems, one of the most critical decisions you'll face is how to distribute traffic across your servers. Two core models are widely used, stateless and stateful load balancing.- Published on
Requirements define what the system should do and how it should perform. They guide the entire design process.- Published on
In today's always-on digital world, downtime is unacceptable. Whether you're running a SaaS platform, an e-commerce site, or an enterprise application, ensuring high availability (HA) and fault tolerance for your infrastructure—especially your load balancers—is non-negotiable.
