Load balancer

About

Apache Traffic Server is an open-source high-performance HTTP caching proxy server that serves cached content at the network edge to reduce origin load and improve response times.

It provides an event-driven core with asynchronous native DNS for high concurrency, and supports custom plugins written in C/C++ or Lua for modifying headers, inspecting caches, handling Edge Side Includes, and implementing custom caching algorithms.

Google Cloud Load Balancing is a managed load balancing service that distributes application traffic across virtual machines and containers on Google Cloud.

It supports global and regional load balancing, a single anycast IP address for worldwide deployments, automatic scaling without pre-warming, integration with Cloud CDN and Cloud Armor, and uses Envoy and Google Front End proxies to route and manage traffic.
