Maximum availability and performance for your digital services

Increase the availability and performance of your digital services. Our Application Load Balancer (ALB) operates on Layer 7 and intelligently distributes incoming HTTP and HTTPS traffic to your backend systems. Benefit from a highly available solution that integrates seamlessly and securely into your STACKIT cloud environment.

Applications STACKIT Application Load Balancer

The STACKIT Application Load Balancer can be used to implement the following use cases, among others:

Efficiently orchestrate microservices

Implement modern architectures through targeted routing. The ALB forwards requests to the appropriate services based on URL paths (e.g., it separates /api from /images), ensuring a clean structure for your services.

Ensure risk-free deployments (blue-green)

Minimize the risk of downtime during software updates. Shift your user traffic to new versions gradually and in a controlled manner. This guarantees smooth releases without downtime and offers your users maximum security.

Secure web platforms

Effectively protect your e-commerce or portal solutions from server failures. Automatic failover to healthy instances ensures that your application remains continuously available to your customers even in the event of backend disruptions.

Features STACKIT Application Load Balancer

  • Content-based routing distributes data traffic intelligently and precisely based on host names, HTTP headers, query parameters, or URL paths.
  • Thanks to SSL/TLS termination, encryption is offloaded centrally directly at the load balancer, significantly reducing the load on your backend servers.
  • Automated health checks continuously monitor your backend instances so that faulty targets are immediately detected and removed from distribution.
