Load Balancing Algorithms: Each One Fixes the Last One's Flaw
Spreading requests across N servers sounds like a one-liner: pick a server, send the request. Then one backend is slower, or bigger, or holds a session, and the naive choice falls apart. This walks the classic algorithms as a chain where each one exists to fix the previous one's blind spot: round robin, weighted, least connections, power of two choices, and consistent hashing, in Go, ending with the failure every tutorial forgets.
