A LOAD BALANCER sits in front of multiple servers and distributes requests among them:
  Client → LOAD BALANCER → ┬→ Server 1
                           ├→ Server 2
                           └→ Server 3
  → spreads load → no single server is overwhelmed (enables HORIZONTAL scaling)
  → routes around FAILED servers (health checks) → high AVAILABILITY
  → a single entry point for clients

✓ SCALABILITY → distributes load across many servers → handle more traffic by adding servers
✓ AVAILABILITY → if a server fails, route to healthy ones → no single point of failure
✓ PERFORMANCE → prevents any server from being overloaded → consistent response times
✓ Enables ZERO-DOWNTIME deploys, maintenance (take servers out of rotation)
→ a foundation of scalable, highly-available systems.
