Hetzner Load Balancer is a solution designed to distribute traffic between multiple targets and ensure high availability and performance for applications. It is aimed at companies of all sizes, ranging from small startups to large enterprises. According to the vendor, IT professionals, developers, e-commerce companies, SaaS providers, gaming companies, and media and content streaming companies widely use this product to efficiently manage and deploy applications, handle high traffic, ensure uptime, and deliver a seamless user experience.

## Key Features

**Load Balancers**: According to the vendor, users can easily scale their applications by automatically distributing traffic across their infrastructure and avoid a single point of failure.

**Pricing**: Users are charged based on the hours the Load Balancer is running, and they have the flexibility to delete it when no longer needed, as stated by the vendor.

**Dedicated Servers**: The vendor claims that Hetzner Load Balancers can leverage the power of Hetzner dedicated root servers, combining the virtual and physical world within a Load Balancer.

**Protocols**: Load Balancers are said to support any TCP based traffic, as well as HTTP and HTTPS protocols, and speak HTTP/2 by default, according to the vendor.

**High Availability**: The vendor states that Hetzner completely manages the Load Balancers, ensuring they are always up and running with a highly optimized and automated system.

**TLS Termination**: According to the vendor, users can offload TLS (SSL) decryption to the Load Balancer, freeing up CPU cycles from the application servers, and pass encrypted traffic through for enhanced security.

**Health Checks**: The vendor claims that Load Balancers support configurable active health checks to ensure the application can sustain a server failure, and passive health checks are performed on every request to ensure traffic is only routed to healthy targets.

**Private Networks**: The vendor states that Load Balancers seamlessly work with Hetzner Cloud Networks, allowing users to configure them as the single point of entry into their infrastructure, improving security.

**Proxy Protocols**: The vendor claims that the proxy protocol provides a convenient way to transport connection information, such as a client's IP, to the servers.

**Fast (Re)configuration**: According to the vendor, Load Balancers are easy to configure and can be ready to go in a few seconds, with configuration changes applied almost instantly.

Hetzner offers load balancing as a standalone service.
