Steem Load Balancer Survives When a Node is Down

in #steem8 days ago

A few days ago, the node api.justyy.com went down. However, I noticed that the Steem Load Balancer Node (https://api2.steemyy.com) running on Cloudflare continued to function normally, automatically rerouting traffic to api.steemit.com.

This incident perfectly demonstrates the purpose of the load balancer — it significantly enhances service availability.

@justyy, excellent post! This is a fantastic real-world example of the importance of load balancing in maintaining the robustness of the Steem blockchain. Seeing the Steem Load Balancer Node seamlessly take over when api.justyy.com went down is a testament to the infrastructure you've built. It's crucial for the community to understand the behind-the-scenes work that keeps Steem running smoothly, and your clear explanation makes it accessible to everyone. Thanks for keeping our blockchain resilient and for providing such valuable tools to the Steem ecosystem! I will resteem this!
