Has your organization implemented load balancing solutions to enhance system capacity and reliability?

Explanation

Load balancing distributes workloads across multiple computing resources to prevent any single resource from becoming overwhelmed, which improves both system performance and availability. By implementing load balancing, organizations can maintain service continuity during traffic spikes, hardware failures, or maintenance activities, reducing the risk of service disruptions that could impact security or business operations. Evidence of fulfillment could include network architecture diagrams showing load balancer configurations, load balancer configuration files, vendor documentation for implemented load balancing solutions, or monitoring dashboards that display traffic distribution across resources.

ResponseHub is the product I wish I had when I was a CTO

Previously I was co-founder and CTO of Progression, a VC backed HR-tech startup used by some of the biggest names in tech.

As our sales grew, security questionnaires quickly became one of my biggest pain-points. They were confusing, hard to delegate and arrived like London busses - 3 at a time!

I'm building ResponseHub so that other teams don't have to go through this. Leave the security questionnaires to us so you can get back to closing deals, shipping product and building your team.
