Load Balancer versus HTTP Accelerator on Cloud IaaS

Advertisement

We can compare the working mechanism of Load Balancer versus HTTP Accelerator when we are using any Cloud based IaaS. There are differences. Through previously published articles, we talked both about Load Balancing and HTTP Accelerator like Varnish. These are actually different type of server setups intended to deploy any Web Application. For a given web application, we consider which server architecture is perfect to use for the particular web application and assumed load, there are many factors like performance, scalability, availability, reliability and most importantly cost effectiveness.

 

Load Balancer versus HTTP Accelerator on Cloud IaaS

 

Diagrammatically, Load Balancer versus HTTP Accelerator on Cloud IaaS can be drawn in this way :

 

Load-Balancer-versus-HTTP-Accelerator-on-Cloud

On Cloud IaaS setup, we usually use Load Balancer as a Service. We are only using part of big Load Balancing system, i.e. the Load Balancer is not a dedicated system and has all the features of typical cloud based platform.

Explanation of Load Balancer versus HTTP Accelerator on Cloud IaaS Setup

 

Load balancers can use the same software as HTTP Accelerator like Varnish, but the setup is actually for horizontal scaling. We can add multiple servers to improve the performance by distributing the workload. In this scenario, we are using reverse proxy on layer 7 (application layer). If not rightly configured, load balancer system can become a performance bottleneck.

HTTP accelerator setup is using a caching system to enable HTTP reverse proxy, as it can cache, it can be used to reduce the page loading, it reduces the effective load on the application servers. Horizontal scaling with only HTTP accelerator setup is also possible but usually we use the first type of described Load balancer setup to rightly, algorithmically distribute the load.

In both cases, we can use a Content Delivery Network (CDN), however, the CDN remains fully independent of the type of setup.
