The article is very detailed and does a great job, but they don't mention DigitalOcean load balances.
Load balancers are a must have infrastructure puzzle piece these days. DO did a fantastic job on their lb offering and for $20 a month they are quite powerful (http and tcp) with configurable health checks and failover.
- emilyfm 10y agoI've been using a Linode load balancer for three years now (it's also $20/mo), in front of a bunch of vps's. Allows me to have zero-downtime upgrades by switching servers out of the rotation, and also not be concerned if individual servers die or are rebooted (which is very rare anyway).
