Summary

ngrok’s GSLB (Global Server Load Balancing) elevates Linode-hosted SaaS performance and resilience by automatically routing traffic to the Point of Presence with the lowest latency, offloading compute-heavy functions to PoPs closer to end users, leveraging high-capacity connections on the internet backbone between PoPs, supporting automatic geo-failover in case any PoP or upstream server becomes unavailable, allowing deployment of the same application on multiple architectures and giving flexibility for multi-cloud deployments. ngrok’s GSLB provides zero configuration infrastructure, less complexity for application delivery, solid security checkpoints, and built-in observability, making it an ideal solution for combining Linode’s compute instances with easy performance and reliability.
