External Load Balancers in Microservices
These are not specific to Spring Boot but are often used in development environments to manage incoming traffic before it reaches the application.
A. Software Load Balancers:
Tools like Nginx or HAProxy can be configured so that it handles incoming traffic and distributed to microservices. It can be used at the network edge, acting as an entry point for external services.
B. Cloud load balancing:
Many cloud providers such as AWS Elastic Load Balancing, Azure Load Balancer, and Google Cloud Load Balancing offer managed load balancer services that distribute incoming application traffic across multiple instances in the cloud

As enterprises increasingly adopt cloud-native technologies, application models require complex load-balancing strategies to efficiently deliver requests to customers This ensures high availability, fault tolerance, and resource efficiency in dynamic and quality environments
