Load Balancing

In addition, you can utilize our load balancer to randomly distribute requests to your origin servers so that no one server is overloaded.
Section has used VCL to create common load balancing scenarios that can be easily set up in your Section portal by editing your VCL files. Section provides Git-backed version control for easy configuration, and in-depth metrics and logs to show how each request was handled for quick diagnosis of issues.
