Distribute requests across a pool of cloud servers so that your application is not reliant on a single cloud server
Brightbox Load Balancers handle automatically creating and renewing certificates for free using Let's Encrypt.
Brightbox load balancers can be created and updated instantly through the Brightbox Manager web app, the CLI or REST API.
Brightbox load balancers can handle up to 400,000 concurrent connections and 1.4 Gbps of encrypted HTTPS traffic (or 1.8 Gbps of standard HTTP traffic)!
The cloud load balancer service runs continuous health-checks on each of your backend Cloud Servers and automatically removes any unresponsive servers from the pool until they return to full health.
Cloud IPs are public IP addresses which can be instantly moved between Load Balancers, Cloud Servers or Cloud SQL instances. Domain names are configured using standard DNS A-records or CNAMEs.
Each Load Balancer can balance multiple protocols (HTTP, HTTPS, SSH, FTP, Websockets etc) across multiple backend ports simultaneously.
Load Balancers enable you to distribute traffic across a pool of cloud servers for high performance and high availability.
