Advanced Enhancement - Implement Load Balancing for Website

[NayakPenguin]

Experiencing increased traffic on the Algolisted website, and in order to improve its performance and ensure scalability, we need to implement load balancing. Load balancing will help distribute incoming traffic across multiple servers, ensuring better responsiveness and reliability for our users.

Enhancement Details:

• Load Balancer Implementation: We will need to select and implement a suitable load balancing solution that can efficiently distribute incoming traffic across multiple servers.
• Server Configuration: Ensure that all servers are properly configured to work seamlessly with the load balancer and that they can handle incoming requests effectively.
• Scaling: Set up an auto-scaling mechanism to dynamically adjust the number of servers based on traffic demands. This will help us handle traffic spikes effectively.
• Monitoring and Alerting: Implement monitoring tools to keep a close eye on server health and traffic patterns. Set up alerts to notify us of any anomalies or issues.
• Failover Mechanism: Implement a failover mechanism to ensure uninterrupted service in case one of the servers fails. This will enhance the website's reliability.
• Testing: Rigorous testing is essential to ensure that the load balancing setup works as expected. Test various scenarios, including high traffic loads, to verify the system's performance and stability.
• Documentation: Create documentation for the load balancing setup, including configurations, procedures for scaling, and troubleshooting guidelines.
• Deployment Plan: Develop a deployment plan that outlines how the changes will be rolled out to minimize any potential downtime.
• Rollback Plan: In case any issues arise during deployment, have a rollback plan in place to quickly revert to the previous configuration.
• Performance Optimization: Continuously monitor and optimize the load balancing setup to ensure the best possible performance for our users.

Please consider this enhancement issue to ensure that Algolisted can continue to provide a smooth and reliable experience for our users as our traffic grows. Feel free to provide any additional details or requirements for this enhancement.

@NayakPenguin I would like to pick up the issue, but will need to understand how the current architecture is designed. Please see if we can have a call for this.
