https://systemdesignschool.io/ 👈 Best place to learn and practice system design • In this video, we explore the roles of API Gateways and Load Balancers in modern system architectures. You’ll learn how these components work, when to use each, and how they contribute to microservices and monolithic applications. • We cover key topics such as: • What is an API Gateway? • Functions and benefits of API Gateways (e.g., request routing, security, rate limiting) • What is a Load Balancer? • Types of Load Balancers: Network-Based, Application-Based, and DNS-Based • How Load Balancers improve scalability, high availability, and fault tolerance • Comparing API Gateways and Load Balancers: When to use each • Real-world examples like Netflix’s implementation with Zuul and Ribbon • By the end of the video, you’ll understand how to leverage both API Gateways and Load Balancers to create a scalable and efficient system architecture.
