🆚 Google Cloud Load Balancing vs. Squid

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.

Squid is an open-source caching proxy server that is most commonly used as a forward proxy to cache outbound internet requests, reduce bandwidth, and improve access times.

It supports proxy hierarchies and mesh caching using the Internet Cache Protocol, DNS caching, negative caching of failed requests, access control lists for traffic filtering, transparent proxying, and full request logging.
