    "description": "Distributes incoming network connections or HTTP requests across a pool\nof backend instances to maximize throughput, minimize latency, and ensure\navailability. Operates at Layer 4 (TCP/UDP) or Layer 7 (HTTP/HTTPS).\n\nL7 load balancers (AWS ALB, GCP HTTPS LB) support path-based and header-\nbased routing, SSL termination, sticky sessions, health checks, and\nWebSocket upgrades. L4 load balancers (AWS NLB) offer lower latency for\nTCP-based protocols. Cloud-native load balancers integrate with\nauto-scaling groups to drain connections gracefully during deployments.\nOften co-located with a WAF or DDoS protection layer.\n"
