# Load Balancing

> Cloudflare Load Balancing ensures you never lose revenue to downtime again. Our load balancing product directs traffic across your servers, data centers, and cloud environments based on server health and user-to-origin latency, with near-instantaneous global failover.

## Key Features

- Global health monitoring
- Automatic failover
- Geo-steering
- Cloud agnostic
- A/B testing support
- Canary deployments
- Latency-based routing

## Benefits

### Truly Cloud Agnostic

Unlike cloud-native load balancers that favor their own ecosystem, Cloudflare Load Balancing is vendor-neutral. Developers can seamlessly balance traffic between AWS, GCP, Azure, and on-premise servers.

### Faster Health Checks

We monitor origin health from multiple points across our global network. Our checks can spot connectivity issues from the rest of the world and fail over faster and more reliably.

### Integrated Stack

Load Balancing works natively with the rest of Cloudflare's stack. Route traffic with Argo for performance, protect origins with the WAF, and gain insights from a single control plane.

## Use Cases

### Failover & Resilience

Active/Passive failover between two data centers or cloud regions.

### Geo-Steered Delivery

Geo-Steering for data sovereignty and localization.

### Testing & Deployments

Live A/B-testing and canary-deploy platform.

### Multi-Cloud Architecture

Prevent vendor lock-in and enable true multi-cloud architectures with seamless traffic balancing.
