Systems and methods for performing load balancing and distributed high-availability

Abstract:

The disclosed computer-implemented method for performing load balancing and distributed high-availability may include (i) detecting through a group communication channel that links all nodes of a computing cluster that an overburdened node of the computing cluster has fallen below a predefined performance level, (ii) determining to transfer a specific microservice transaction from the overburdened node to a helper node in the computing cluster, (iii) copying data for the specific microservice transaction from a portion of a central data store that is reserved for the overburdened node to another data store that is reserved for the helper node, and (iv) completing, by the helper node, the specific microservice transaction by referencing the copied data for the specific microservice transaction in the data store that is reserved for the helper node. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
