Maglev: The Load Balancer behind Google’s Infrastructure (Architectural Overview)— Part 1/3 | Google load balancer | Network layer balancer

 Sept. 15, 2021

Here is the article. 

My notes:

The man in the middle intelligently shuffling all the traffic to the appropriate backend is Maglev, the name for Google’s Distributed Load Balancer (LB).

In order to cover this beast that is Maglev, I have opted to break it down into 3 separate articles that build on each other.
Article 1 (this article): looks to give an overview of Maglev and fundamental components of its architecture.
Article 2: Will take a look inside Maglev in particular how the forwarder works.
Article 3: The novel and intelligent implementations that have made Maglev so successful.
