Katapult load balancers automate the distribution of incoming traffic requests via resilient and fast infrastructure to one or more of your virtual machines. The target virtual machines can either be explicitly selected, belong to a virtual machine group or be tagged with the given tag. Load balancing is incredibly beneficial for high-traffic applications or websites handling numerous concurrent requests, all the while demanding zero degradation in user experience. With Katapult's intelligent routing algorithms you can be sure than no single machine is overworked, therefore maximising request fulfilment.
