Definition: Architecture Decision Record from where you should specialise the ADR SBBs regarding the Load Balancing Strategy Source: ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010:2022 Source reference: https://www.iso.org/standard/74393.html Additional information: Load balancing strategy is a decision in IT architecture that involves distributing network traffic across multiple servers to ensure optimal performance, availability, and scalability. The strategy involves selecting the appropriate load balancing algorithm, such as round-robin, least connections, or IP hash, based on the specific needs of the application and infrastructure. The load balancer acts as a traffic cop, directing incoming requests to the most available and responsive server, reducing downtime, and improving user experience. The load balancing strategy also involves monitoring and analyzing traffic patterns, adjusting server capacity, and implementing failover mechanisms to ensure high availability and fault tolerance. Example: Load Balancing Strategy: Decision: Implementing a load balancing mechanism, such as round-robin or dynamic load balancing, to distribute incoming traffic across multiple servers. Rationale: Load balancing ensures that incoming requests are evenly distributed among servers, preventing any single server from becoming overwhelmed and maintaining consistent performance under high loads.

It also describes the alternatives along with the pros and cons. eira:adr_decision: The decision describes the justification for why the particular solution was accepted. It has more emphasis on the why rather than the how. eira:adr_status: [Proposed (under review)|Accepted (approved and ready for implementation)|Superseded (superseded by another decision)] eira:adr_consecuences: The consequences section contains information about the overall impact of an architectural decision. Every decision has trade-offs. That’s why it’s crucial to include the analysis to provide a clear picture.
