Load Balancers
Traffic distribution and load balancing for Tasmanian Cloud
Coming Soon
Load balancer features are currently under development. This page outlines our planned offerings.
Overview
We're working on providing managed load balancing to distribute traffic across your instances. This will enable high availability and reliable performance for your applications.
Planned Features
Load Balancing Types
We're planning to support:
| Type | Description | Use Cases |
|---|---|---|
| Layer 4 (TCP) | Raw TCP/UDP balancing | Databases, gaming servers |
| Layer 7 (HTTP/HTTPS) | Application-layer routing | Web applications, APIs |
Features
Planned capabilities include:
- Health checks — Automatic detection of unhealthy instances
- Session persistence — Maintain user sessions on same backend
- SSL termination — Offload TLS processing
- Automatic failover — Route around failed instances

What We're Solving
- High availability — Distribute traffic across multiple instances
- Scalability — Add or remove backends dynamically
- Reliability — Health checks and automatic failover
- Simplicity — Managed service—no self-hosted load balancers needed
