Load Balancers

Traffic distribution and load balancing for Tasmanian Cloud

Coming Soon

Load balancer features are currently under development. This page outlines our planned offerings.


Overview

We're working on providing managed load balancing to distribute traffic across your instances. This will enable high availability and reliable performance for your applications.


Planned Features

Load Balancing Types

We're planning to support:

TypeDescriptionUse Cases
Layer 4 (TCP)Raw TCP/UDP balancingDatabases, gaming servers
Layer 7 (HTTP/HTTPS)Application-layer routingWeb applications, APIs

Features

Planned capabilities include:

  • Health checks — Automatic detection of unhealthy instances
  • Session persistence — Maintain user sessions on same backend
  • SSL termination — Offload TLS processing
  • Automatic failover — Route around failed instances

What We're Solving

  • High availability — Distribute traffic across multiple instances
  • Scalability — Add or remove backends dynamically
  • Reliability — Health checks and automatic failover
  • Simplicity — Managed service—no self-hosted load balancers needed
