DigitalOcean has launched its Global Load Balancer in Beta, a solution designed to bolster application resiliency and minimize end-user latency. This service eliminates single points of failure and addresses the challenges faced by traditional global load balancing solutions, such as steep learning curves and unpredictable pricing. The DigitalOcean Global Load Balancer is intuitive, predictably priced, and tailored for small to medium-sized businesses, providing features like dynamic multi-region failover, edge caching, and built-in DDoS protection. Pricing starts at $15 per month for a base fee of 1 TB of CDN data transfer and includes allowances for requests and CDN data transfers, offering price predictability and scalability as needed. The service is currently available in all data centers except NYC1, with plans to extend support to other regions and services in the future.
