Elastic Load Balancer

An Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) is a service that distributes incoming network traffic across multiple servers to ensure no single server becomes overwhelmed. Think of it as a skilled traffic cop directing cars to different lanes to keep the flow smooth. By balancing the load, ELB improves the reliability and availability of applications, handling more users efficiently and maintaining performance even if some servers fail. This dynamic distribution helps ensure that your website or app remains responsive and accessible at all times.
