Load balancing algorithms: choose the right one

Different workloads need different distribution strategies. Round-robin is simple but ignores server load. Least connections is smarter for variable-duration requests. IP hash provides stickiness. Weighted handles heterogeneous capacity.

The right choice depends on whether your app is stateful, how variable request duration is, and whether server capacities differ.
