NodeBalancers
NodeBalancers from Linode provide Layer 4 and Layer 7 HTTP regional load balancing for services running on compute instances. This tool distributes incoming traffic across your backend servers to ensure high availability and reliability. It operates as a managed service, handling the complexity of directing requests to the appropriate instances based on defined rules and health checks.
Choose this solution when you need regional load balancing for HTTP services without managing infrastructure. Be aware that there is no free tier available for this service. The pricing model is strictly pay-as-you-go, meaning you will incur costs based on usage from the start. This requires careful monitoring to avoid unexpected charges if traffic volumes increase significantly.
