Introduction: Load Balancing Is Not Just Distribution In modern cloud-native architectures, handling traffic is no longer about simply spreading requests evenly across servers. It is about understanding requests, predicting behavior, and making context-aware routing decisions. This is where Layer 7 (Application Layer) Load Balancers fundamentally change the game. Unlike lower-layer balancers, Layer 7 load…

Modern systems don’t fail loudly anymore they fail subtly. Latency creeps up, error rates spike only under specific conditions, or a single downstream dependency slows everything without throwing an obvious error. If your only line of defense is logs, you are already late. Observability is not just another monitoring buzzword. It is a discipline…

In traditional application development, a significant portion of time and resources is spent managing infrastructure: provisioning servers, configuring environments, handling scaling, and maintaining availability. Serverless architecture fundamentally challenges this model by abstracting infrastructure management away from developers, allowing them to focus exclusively on writing business logic. Serverless does not mean “no servers.” It means…
