Technical documentation

Why teams choose Load Balancing

Flat $15/mo per instance. No LCU, capacity-unit, per-connection, or egress charges.

Deploy in minutes

Select instances, set forwarding rules, and go — no capacity planning.

No bandwidth bill

Zero egress fees. Traffic through your load balancer is never metered.

DDoS monitoring included

Threat monitoring on every load balancer at no extra cost.

Flat, simple pricing

$15/mo per instance — no LCU, capacity-unit, or per-connection charges to decode.

Load Balancing features

Everything you need to build and scale.

Protocol support

TCP and TCP Proxy — fast Layer-4 routing, with TCP Proxy preserving the client source IP.

Configurable algorithms

Source, round robin, or least connections.

Session stickiness

LbCookie, SourceBased, or none — pin a client to one backend when you need to.

Flexible forwarding rules

Map a public port to a private port, with as many rules as you need.

Multi-instance backends

Distribute across two or more compute instances.

Acquire or reuse an IP

Acquire a new IP or choose an existing one, then manage it from the portal.

How Load Balancing compares

See why teams choose ZSoftly Cloud Platform.

Capability	Why it matters
Zero egress fees	AWS and Azure charge per GB through their load balancers — we do not.
No per-rule fees	Add as many forwarding rules as you need at no extra cost.
DDoS monitoring included	Basic threat monitoring at no additional charge.
Simple, flat pricing	$15/mo per instance — no LCU, capacity-unit, or connection charges.
Sovereign Canadian infrastructure	Your traffic routes through infrastructure ZSoftly owns in Canada.

Use cases for Load Balancing

High-availability web applications
API traffic distribution across backend servers
Multi-server application deployments
Blue-green and rolling deployments
E-commerce and SaaS with variable traffic

How Load Balancing works

1
Select an IP address
Acquire a new IP or choose an existing one for the load balancer.
2
Set forwarding rules
Name the rule, pick TCP or TCP Proxy, and map a public port to a private port.
3
Choose algorithm and stickiness
Source, round robin, or least connections — with LbCookie, SourceBased, or no stickiness.
4
Select backend instances
Pick two or more compute instances to balance across.
5
Name and create
Give it a name and create — traffic starts flowing immediately.
