Load balancing involves effectively distributing incoming network traffic across a group of backend servers. A load balancer is tasked with distributing the load among the multiple backend servers that have been set up.

Nginx load balancing refers to the process of distributing web traffic across multiple servers using Nginx.

By default, Nginx uses a round-robin load balancing method to distribute the load across the servers.

Using the Nginx load balancer to distribute load is beneficial as it serves as both a reverse proxy and a load balancer.
