Use cases

Below you can review common use cases for the broker load balancer.

Spread workloads for scaling

The broker load balancer routes incoming data processing requests to available brokers for stable performance, making it ideal for quick horizontal scaling — whether in response to sudden traffic spikes or deliberate business expansions. In this case, you can run high-traffic applications with a lot of concurrent data requests in a fast and reliable manner.

High availability with fault tolerance

The broker load balancer can increase cluster availability by re-routing data loads to other available brokers if a broker fails. This failover mechanism ensures the availability of the whole system.
