Layer-7 load balancing (LB) is a core building block to scale today’s web services. In an earlier post, we introduced Bandaid, the service proxy we built in house at Dropbox that load balances the vast majority of our user requests to backend services. More balanced load distribution among backend servers is desirable because it improves the performance and reliability of our services which benefits our users. Our Traffic/Runtime team recently explored leveraging real-time load information from backend servers to make better load balancing decisions in Bandaid. In this post, we will share the experiences and results, as well as discussing load balancing in general.
