Load Balancing

Load balancing is the process of distributing workloads across multiple resources, such as servers or network links, to ensure no single resource is overwhelmed. This helps improve performance, reliability, and efficiency. Think of it like a traffic dispatcher who directs cars to different routes to avoid congestion. In computing, it ensures that user requests are handled smoothly, preventing slowdowns or crashes when demand spikes. By balancing the load, systems can operate more effectively and provide a better experience for users.
