Scale your applications on Compute Engine from zero to full throttle with Cloud Load Balancing, with no pre-warming needed. Distribute your load-balanced compute resources in single or multiple regions—close to your users—and to meet your high availability requirements. Cloud Load Balancing can put your resources behind a single anycast IP and scale your resources up or down with intelligent autoscaling. Cloud Load Balancing comes in a variety of flavors and is integrated with Cloud CDN for optimal application and content delivery. With Cloud Load Balancing, a single anycast IP front-ends all your backend instances in regions around the world. It provides cross-region load balancing, including automatic multi-region failover, which gently moves traffic in fractions if backends become unhealthy. In contrast to DNS-based global load balancing solutions, Cloud Load Balancing reacts instantaneously to changes in users, traffic, network, backend health, and other related conditions.

As strain increases on a website or business application, eventually, a single server cannot support the full workload. To meet demand, organizations spread the workload over multiple servers called "load balancing", this practice prevents a single server from becoming overworked, which could cause it to slow down, drop requests, and even crash. Load balancing lets you evenly distribute network traffic to prevent failure caused by overloading a particular resource. This strategy improves the performance and availability of applications, websites, databases, and other computing resources. It also helps process user requests quickly and accurately. From a user perspective, load balancing acts as an invisible facilitator that sits between a client and a group of servers, ensuring connection requests don’t get lost. Without load balancing, applications, websites, databases, and online services would likely fail when demand gets too high.
