SKILL.md

Distribute traffic across infrastructure using the appropriate load balancing approach, from simple round-robin to global multi-region failover.

For detailed comparison including performance benchmarks and hybrid approaches, see references/l4-vs-l7-comparison.md.

| Round Robin | Sequential | Stateless, similar servers | | Weighted Round Robin | Capacity-based | Different server specs | | Least Connections | Fewest active connections | Long-lived connections | | Least Response Time | Fastest server | Performance-sensitive | | IP Hash | Client IP-based | Session persistence |

When distributing traffic across multiple servers or regions, use this skill to select and configure the appropriate load balancing solution (L4/L7, cloud-managed, self-managed, or Kubernetes ingress) with proper health checks and session management. Source: ancoleman/ai-design-components.
