Therefore, implementing a <a class=\"ack-link-color\" href=\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/articles\/how-to-automatically-scale-nodes-horizontally-in-accuweb-cloud\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">clustering solution<\/a> with built-in automatic load balancing becomes essential.<\/p>\n<p>Adjusting your application cluster on the platform is straightforward. Simply add additional application server instances to your environment using the topology wizard. Additionally, an NGINX <a class=\"ack-link-color\" href=\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/articles\/load-balancing-introduction\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">load balancer<\/a> will be automatically enabled in front of your project.<\/p>\n<p>This load balancer will ensure even distribution of traffic across the specified number of application server nodes, thanks to its load balancing capabilities.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/01-nginx.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\".ack-extra-image-space aligncenter wp-image-47352 size-full\" title=\"Test Load Balancing\" src=\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/01-nginx.jpg\" alt=\"Test Load Balancing\" width=\"468\" height=\"496\" srcset=\"https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/01-nginx.jpg 468w, https:\/\/accuweb.cloud\/resource\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/01-nginx-283x300.jpg 283w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 468px) 100vw, 468px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This approach significantly boosts your application&#8217;s performance, allowing it to handle a greater number of requests simultaneously. Additionally, it reduces the risk of downtime; if one server fails, the others will continue to operate, maintaining accessibility.<\/p>\n<p>To demonstrate the efficiency of this setup, we will guide you through performing load balancing tests using the <a class=\"ack-link-color\" href=\"https:\/\/httpd.apache.org\/docs\/2.4\/programs\/ab.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ApacheBench (ab)<\/a> tool. ApacheBench offers a range of options for testing a server&#8217;s capacity to handle varying and increasing loads.
