Server Load Balancing

Server load balancing is a technique used to distribute incoming network traffic across multiple servers to ensure no single server becomes overwhelmed. Think of it like a toll booth where cars (users' requests) are directed evenly to different lanes (servers). This process improves website speed, reliability, and uptime because if one server is busy or fails, others can handle the load seamlessly. By balancing traffic efficiently, load balancing helps maintain smooth performance and prevents delays or crashes, ensuring users experience consistent and reliable access to services.
