Best for stateless applications where each request is independent.
Works well when all servers are equally capable and requests are uniform.
Example: A micro services architecture where each request is processed quickly and independently, such as fetching static content.
Sticky Load Balancing:
Ideal for stateful applications that maintain session information, such as online shopping carts or personalized dashboards.
Useful when session data isn’t easily shared across servers.
Example: An e-commerce website where users’ session data (e.g., shopping carts) is stored in memory on the server, so subsequent requests need to go to the same server.
