    We supposed that one server can not handle 10000 clients, but how one load balancer can? Video is good btw:)

    • @bradleyknapp2909
      @bradleyknapp2909 3 роки тому +26

      Mustafa, the idea of a load balancer is that its only purpose is to distribute the number of active sessions among N number of servers that are supporting the workload for X number of clients.
      The load balancer itself is only used at the beginning of the session, it's not a constant intermediary point - its job is to assign the session to the least active backend server, and then to await the next session that needs to be instantiated.
      Now, that said, it is always best practice to size your load balancer deployment the same way that you would size your server deployment - you will need much higher performance for load balancers that can expect 5,000 simultaneous instantiations than you would for a workload that would only ever see 500 instantiations, for example.

    Really nice video. In my point of view, it could be pretty good to add labels to 1, 2 and 3 scenarios to better remember the classification. Also maybe good to explain why the random method could be fine according to math. It's not clear. Maybe the random method is not so simple and gets one of the servers which is loaded less than the average? :-) Absolute random approach is worse than rolling-robin in my vision.

    Note to self:
    Round Robin Algo is inefficient, if theres 3 server and each server has 3 users... server2 and server3 users is done using the app while server1 users are still using it, server2 and server3 is vacant (which should not be)

      It's a whole topic on it's own. Data can be stored on different servers so not application server access the same database server. Data that is accessed often can be put on a more performant server or replicated to multiple servers...

    I know I’m very late to this video but can you please explain how random is above round robin in this situation. They’re both similarly uninformed of the situation of the servers and just do their own thing, I would imagine they’d be equally unhelpful though if anything, at least round robin places it at a server only if it’s been the least recently troubled one, so there’s some minimal help there. I’m surprised random is considered between dumb and smart…
