Load Balancing Configuration

Load balancing is the process of distributing a set of tasks across a set of resources with the aim of making their overall processing more efficient. It can optimize response time and avoid unevenly overloading some compute nodes while other nodes are left idle. Load balancing configuration is always environment and system specific.

For Tomcat specific load balancing details please refer to the Tomcat 9.0 documentation available at Tomcat 9.0 .

Load balancing is used in mission critical environments, with main node running the application and node 1...n running the replica(s) of such application. This ensures even distribution of load across all nodes in a such mission critical architecture.
