What is Load Balancing?

Load balancing distributes network traffic or workloads across multiple servers or resources to prevent any single resource from being overwhelmed. It improves application availability and responsiveness by ensuring that requests are handled efficiently and that no single point of failure exists. Load balancing is commonly used in web servers, databases, and other applications to distribute the workload, optimize resource utilization, maximize throughput, minimize response time, and avoid overload.
