For an application expecting a high volume of traffic, replicating application servers and adding a load balancer isn’t enough. The architecture must be highly available. To ensure high availability we introduce redundancy in the infrastructure hosting the application.

Web applications expects a high volume of traffic. A single server has limited resources and is bound to choke when faced with such traffic burst. In this article we modify the basic architecture to accommodate similar traffic pattern.

Web servers are responsible for hosting a web application. A web request before reaching the web server requires a connection. Establishing that connection has its own mechanism. In this article we explore the process of data communication between a web server and browser.
