Hacker News with Generative AI: Load Balancing

AI for Network Engineers: Understanding Flow, Flowlet, and Packet-Based LB (blogspot.com)
Though BGP supports the traditional Flow-based Layer 3 Equal Cost Multi-Pathing (ECMP) traffic load balancing method, it is not the best fit for a RoCEv2-based AI backend network.
Consistent Hash Ring (selfboot.cn)
Consistent Hashing Ring is a special hashing algorithm primarily used for data distribution and load balancing in distributed systems.
Show HN: Novanode, Global load balancing with Caddy, no vendor lock-in (ycombinator.com)
I've been a long-time Cloudflare user, but sometimes I just want a global load balancer without the lock-in and with full configuration control (e.g., some Cloudflare rules require an enterprise plan).
Building a tiny load balancing service using PID Controllers (pankajtanwar.in)
Recently, I came across an engineering blog by Dropbox, talking about their latest iteration of Robinhood (an in-house built load balancing service). It is designed to dynamically adjust node weights for even load distribution by leveraging Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controllers.
Load is not what you should balance: Introducing Prequal (usenix.org)
We present PReQuaL (Probing to Reduce Queuing and Latency), a load balancer for distributed multi-tenant systems.
What’s new with our in-house load balancing service (dropbox.tech)
Robinhood is the internal Dropbox load balancing service we deployed in 2020. It is responsible for routing all our internal traffic between servers to balance service load.
