#Load Balancing

Explain why Load Balancers are needed, how horizontal scaling is achieved, and how overall system scalability and availability are ensured.

Explain the consistent hashing mechanism for load balancing. Why is it important in distributed systems?

Design a Load Balancer, covering aspects such as architecture, algorithm, load balancing methods, and database considerations. Discuss the problem thoroughly and define both functional and non-functional requirements while also addressing scalability, performance optimization, monitoring, logging, and deployment aspects.
