It's fascinating to see how to build a system, then they replicate that system with a load balancer, just to replicate that system with another form of load balancer and so on.

I wonder if they thought about changing something within the first system instead of replicating it.

Fantastic article Neo!

Interesting to see how different strategies are applied at layer 7 and 4 to achieve overall load balancing improving scalability by multiple times.

It is pretty cool to watch the evolution of a system driven by challenges.

Thanks for sharing this, Neo!
