Traffic Balancing and Service Scaling
-
1h 30 min
In this workshop, we will explore the fundamental principles of traffic balancing for scaling high-load systems, including:
-
When to use L4 and L7 levels.
-
How different algorithms work.
-
Why some approaches speed up the product, while others break caching and complicate encryption.
We will also look at the specifics of handling HTTP/1, HTTP/2 and WebSocket traffic, and examine how business logic can influence the choice of approach.
The format is hands-on: we will work in teams to design solutions for a shared case, compare pros and cons, and uncover the theory through practice.
This workshop will be especially useful for systems analysts with experience in designing integrations.
