Answer
Distributes network traffic across multiple servers.
A Load Balancer helps manage incoming requests by distributing them across several servers, ensuring no single server becomes overwhelmed. This helps improve response time and reliability. For example, an e-commerce platform can use a Load Balancer to manage user requests during peak shopping seasons.
