Mid REST API

How do you handle load balancing in REST API services?

  • Use a load balancer (NGINX, HAProxy, AWS ELB, Azure Front Door).
  • Distribute traffic across multiple instances to avoid bottlenecks.
  • Support round-robin, least connections, or IP hash strategies.
  • Enable health checks to route traffic only to healthy instances.
  • Combine with auto-scaling for dynamic traffic management.
