Load Balancer
Hetzner’s Load Balancer handles managed layer 4 and 7 traffic distribution, specifically taking care of health checks and TLS termination. It operates on a strict pay-as-you-go model, meaning you are billed hourly for the infrastructure you actually use. This setup removes the need to configure and maintain your own balancing software, letting you offload those network tasks directly to the provider.
This service suits teams needing straightforward traffic management without the overhead of self-hosting, but it demands a budget commitment from the start. There is no free tier available, so you pay from the first hour. The entry cost begins at $5.39 per month, which is reasonable for small deployments but means you cannot test the service without incurring charges.
