Load balancers on redu
HTTP and HTTPS load balancing across your instances, in front of a single app or a whole autoscaling cluster. Set it up from the console, the API, or your agent. Hosted in the EU.
Quick takeHTTP and HTTPS balancing
One access point in front of your instances or cluster, with health checks.
How it works
- Create a load balancer from the console or the API, or have your agent do it.
- Point it at a group of instances or an autoscaling cluster.
- It spreads incoming traffic across the members.
- Health checks stop routing to a member that stops responding.
Why redu
One access point, traffic shared across real machines.
A load balancer in front of your instances or cluster, so no single machine carries the whole load.
Traffic spread across real instances
A load balancer sits in front of your instances and shares traffic, so no single machine takes the whole load.
Built for autoscaling
Put it in front of a cluster and it keeps spreading traffic as members are added and removed with load.
Set it up your way
Create and configure the load balancer from the console or the API, or point your agent at it. Hosted in the EU.
FAQ
Load balancer questions
What does a redu load balancer do?
It spreads incoming traffic across a group of instances or an autoscaling cluster, and routes around members that fail their health check.

Yes. A load balancer sits in front of a cluster and keeps balancing traffic as the cluster adds and removes members with load.
What kind of traffic can it balance?
HTTP and HTTPS traffic, in front of a single web app or an autoscaling cluster.
