- otikik 10mo agoThen your load balancer becomes the single point of failure.
- roryirvine 10mo agoBGP Anycast will let you dynamically route traffic into multiple front-end load balancers - this is how GSLB is usually done. Needs an ASN and a decent chunk of PI address space, though, so not exactly something a random startup will ever be likely to play with.
- DaanDL 10mo agoThen add a load balancer in front of your load balancer, duh. /s
- sofixa 10mo agoWith what? The only (sensible) way is DNS, but then your DNS provider is your SPOF. Amazon used to run 2 DNS providers (separate NS from 2 vendors for all of AWS), but when one failed, there was still a massive outage.
