Thank you for sharing the salient features of each method. I've heard of load balancing being equated with air traffic control so these methods make sense in that respect.
The breakdown of load balancing algorithms with code implementations is extremely practical. The progression from Round Robin's simplicity to Weighted Round Robin's capacity-aware distribution to Least Connections' dynamic adaptation shows how algorithmic sophistication can match increasingly complex system requirements. What's particularly interesting is how IP Hash trades optimal distribution for session affinity - it's a reminder that SLAM algorithms (and load balancing) often involve similar trade-offs between computational efficiency and practical constraints. The visual representations make these abstract distribution patterns immediately intuitive, which is crucial for understanding when each approach shines versus when it becomes a bottleneck.
nice article 👍

nice article, covers most of the important information.
Thanks Neo!
