High availability without a proxy to maintain

A load balancer on Square Cloud is simply the same custom domain on more than one application. The edge does the rest.

Round-robin at the edge

Each request can land on a different application in the group, spreading the load across your deployments with no proxy or extra layer to configure.

Automatic failover

If an application goes offline (connection refused), any request, including POST, is answered by another application in the group.

Self-service in the dashboard

Add the same custom domain to another application and the balancer exists. The Load Balancing page shows every group, its applications and your plan's limit.

Included in your plan

No per-request billing and no requests-per-second cap. Standard balances up to 2 applications per domain, Pro up to 5 and Enterprise up to 10.

Up and running in three steps

No dedicated infrastructure to provision: the balancer is born from your applications' network settings.

1

Configure a custom domain

Set your domain on an application and create the DNS records shown in the dashboard. TLS certificates are automatic.

2

Add it to another application

Set the same domain on a second application, from the network settings or the Load Balancing page, up to your plan's limit.

3

The edge balances the traffic

Requests are distributed round-robin with automatic failover. Removing the domain from an application shrinks the group at any time.

A plan for every stage of your project

Start small and scale when you need to, with no loyalty contracts.

Load balancing is available from the Standard plan.
