A Load Balancer is an AppMill service mode that was designed to distribute the load when processing
client requests between a group of regular services.

In case of service overload, when clients send many requests to services, significant system slowdown and interruption of requests due to timeout may occur. To avoid such situations the service can be run as a Load Balancer.

The running service in the balancer mode acts as a proxy server and redirects the clients’ requests to the end services based on the selected balancer mode. In this case the system will work faster and will greatly improve the productivity.
