Best alternative available for Application Load Balances

The best part is that it's easy to use with no learning curve at all, you can focus your attention on business logic instead of managing servers. It's not free though so if you're looking into this solution then do some research first. I've used other load balancers in my career but they never supported AWS Lambda functions or were too expensive compared to others out there. This one does support both which makes it more appealing than most others. We are using it as an edge load balancer…

Pros
  • Easy setup
  • Free tier offers 3 TB worth memory.
  • Support for Amazon lambda backend services
  • Good performance across region boundaries when connected via VPC private links (ELBs)
Cons
  • No builtin functionality around security groups / ACLs

Cons
  • Some little things
