DigitalOcean load balancer rate limit can be scaled up or down as per our requirements. Find out how.

At Bobcares, we offer solutions for every query, big and small, as a part of our DigitalOcean Management Services.

Let’s look at how our Support Team is ready to help customers set up DigitalOcean load balancer rate limit.

All About DigitalOcean Load Balancer Rate Limit

DigitalOcean Load Balancers can be described as a fully-managed and immensely available network load balancing service. Furthermore, these Load Balancers dispense traffic to different Droplets.

In addition, this disengages the overall health of the backend service from that of a single server, thereby allowing our services to stay online.

We can scale load balancers by either adding or removing nodes. The number of nodes on the load balancer determines the number of simultaneous connections as well as requests per second it can manage.

Each extra node adds to the value of the load balancer’s maximum as seen below:

• Simultaneous connections by 10,000
• Requests per second by 10,000
• New SSL connections per second by 250

According to our Support Techs, we can add up to a hundred nodes to the load balancer. We can scale it up or down according to our performance requirements.

In fact, the higher the number of nodes of a load balancer, the higher the simultaneous connections as well as requests per second. The costs of the load balancers depend on the number of hours it runs for each size. Moreover, we can resize a load balancer only one time in an hour.

Unfortunately, this scaling feature is not available in the AMS2, NYC2, SFO1 regions. Furthermore, we can only create load balancers with one node in these regions. Furthermore, this is similar to a small-size load balancer according to the legacy scaling system.
