Load Balancers 2.0

Speed is at the heart of our Load Balancers' evolution. We've optimized their underlying architecture to ensure they operate at peak efficiency, enabling blazing-fast response times and reduced latency. Whether you're running a high-traffic e-commerce platform or a content-heavy website, rest assured that your users will experience lightning-quick page loads and seamless interactions.

In fact, we have successfully increased the average requests per second handled by our Load Balancers by an impressive 150%, reaching an average of 20,000 requests per second per Load Balancer. This significant enhancement is a testament to our unwavering commitment to speed and efficiency. By investing in the optimization of our underlying architecture and employing cutting-edge technologies, we have achieved unprecedented levels of responsiveness and reduced latency.

Scalability has also received a substantial boost with our Load Balancer updates. Now, you can easily scale your infrastructure up or down based on demand, allowing you to efficiently allocate resources and handle traffic fluctuations.

We've also significantly expanded the capacity of our Load Balancers to support an extensive number of nodes. This means you can connect a large cluster of backend servers to a single load balancer cluster, effortlessly accommodating the growth of your applications and services.

Lastly, Vultr Load Balancers now operate on the rock-solid Debian operating system, known for its stability and security. Alongside this, we've integrated the latest version of HAProxy, the renowned open-source load balancer and proxy server. This powerful combination ensures seamless operation, enhanced security, and improved load distribution for your applications.
