[Dxspider-support] Load Balancing

[Kin]

It is exactly the same, Faizul. The container is nothing more than a machine from the point of view of the node's functionality.
If your host/container has good network access, it doesn't matter where it is located (the actual latency is laughable, at least in my case). It makes exactly the same to connect to a node in your country or in another continent, the difference is in the added value that your node provides: availability, stability, throughput, updates, maintenance, ...
 
This is my humble opinion.

PS
But the use of containers is a great advantage.

Using a container on the same server is a solution to run 2 nodes on 1 server.
I am thinking about regional load balance. For example, users from a country can connect to the nearest node to them.

It's not that simple, Tim.
There should never be more than one node connected to the same callsign.
Another problem is that the nodes do not share the user_json DB.
Additionally, there are settings such as filters that should be shared.
And partners cannot be shared either, although this has an easy solution.
Using HA Proxy would be a great solution if you didn't have to modify the spider code.

Hi Faizul,

Given the interconnected nature of the dxcluster all spots appear 
everywhere almost instantaneously so you could just connect to another 
node if your favourite node went down and I don't think any node is 
suffering for excess load since the software is reasonably lightweight.

You could set up two nodes locally with DNS round robin load balancing 
between them or you could put a HA-proxy in front of them to do the load 
balancing. Both methodologies expand horizontally to many nodes. This 
can give you both load sharing and redundancy should you require it.

There's really no need to have the software itself do that function.

cheers

Tim
