load balancing

When your app grows busier than a chipmunk in acorn season, you need a way to spread the traffic around — evenly, securely, and without hiccups. That’s where AWS load balancers come in. They’re not one-size-fits-all — each is tuned for specific layers, traffic patterns, and resilience needs.

Hey there, cloud burrowers! Bit the Chipmunk here, digging into one of the trickier corners of AWS networking: internal load balancers.
