Load balancing
(Migrated from old wordpress blog post dated 12/22/2010)
I read an interesting article today about load balancing. Its a must read for anyone looking to scale a website or anyone just simple interested in knowing how these high traffic websites scale on the web server side. This documents explains different ways of doing it like hardware based approach and software based approach. It also explains various related factors like cookie persistence and using SSL certs in load balancing. http://www.exceliance.fr/en/ART-2006-making%20applications%20scalable%20with%20LB.pdf
