There's a reference to an article on Basho's site, written by Amazon, about Dynamo:
http://features.basho.com/entries/20535121-weighted-nodes Section 6.4 explains why they do not use load balancers. The rest of the article is good reading, too. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sean Carey" <ca...@basho.com> To: "Matt Black" <matt.bl...@jbadigital.com> Cc: "riak-users" <riak-users@lists.basho.com> Sent: Thursday, August 30, 2012 11:09:00 PM Subject: Re: Riak behind a Load Balancer Matt, Haproxy is my load balancer of choice. You can always run multiple copies of haproxy and use some type of dynamic dns with it. We do this in many cases. Haproxy scales well. I've seen a single node sustain multiple gigabits per second with almost no sweat. Thanks.

We wish to be able to automatically add/remove nodes from the cluster, so adding an extra layer at the front is desirable. We should also benefit for incoming requests behind shared across all nodes. Can anyone see any drawbacks / problems with doing this?
