Global Traffic Manager (GTM)

Alibaba Cloud’s Global Traffic Manager handles global acceleration, scheduling, and disaster recovery switching across multiple IP addresses. It routes traffic intelligently to ensure availability and performance across regions, acting as a control layer for managing how users reach your services.

This setup suits teams needing automated failover and optimized routing without managing complex DNS configurations manually. The main catch is the lack of a free tier, meaning every deployment incurs costs immediately under the pay-as-you-go model, which might deter small projects or experimental setups.
