I've seen comments on this article elsewhere around load balancing not being needed until you're at scale, but do others not put it in quickly, not for volume, but for availability?
- rubber_duck 8y agoAgain - when you need something to be available you probably want someone who knows what he's doing from start setting it up. Not saying you can't or shouldn't do it but it's not surprising that there's not a lot of newbie friendly tutorials for such things.
- fgonzag 8y agoSetting up HA LBs isn't hard though. Two load balanced IPS in your DNS hitting each external load balancer IP, LBs have keepalived configured with two floating VIPs each. I learnt that on the fly when having to build an HA service without the economic resources usually associated with doing so. ( Databases and routers/firewalls were a whole different beast though)
