Does SelfReliant’s messaging service provide a load balancing mechanism?
SelfReliant’s Distributed Messaging Service provides a server pooling mechanism. The server pool is an abstraction that handles client application requests and distributes them among individual member application in the server pool. This can reduce the amount of workload that each application (server) must handle, much like load balancing. SelfReliant supports server pool sizes of up to 64 servers per pool. • Client applications have two ways of interacting with a server pool, they can send individual messages into a pool, or they can request a direct connection with a pool server. In either case the client application references the pool by name and the SelfReliant Process makes a policy decision to determine which pool member receives the message or request. The default policy is a simple round-robin scheme but users can provide their own routing policies.
