Application Delivery In Amazon Web Services
Application services alternative to AWS load balancer

Scale Beyond AWS Application Load Balancer Capabilities

Amazon Web Services load balancer solutions like the AWS Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) or AWS Application Load Balancer (ALB) lack full-featured load balancing capabilities, multi-cloud traffic management, and real-time application analytics.

Similarly, traditional appliance-based load balancers are not designed for cloud environments, since virtual appliances lack the ability to scale across multiple clouds and cannot support the elasticity and automation required by cloud-native applications. These legacy solutions also lack developer-oriented features and native integration with AWS APIs, and require manual configuration and tedious management of individual instances.
