Configuring AWS Elastic Load Balancers for Node.js Applications

Modern web applications require robust infrastructure to handle traffic spikes and ensure high availability. This text-based course guides you through configuring AWS Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) specifically tailored for Node.js environments. You will learn how to distribute incoming traffic efficiently, monitor health checks, and maintain a seamless user experience. By completing this course, you will be able to design a resilient architecture that automatically balances workloads across multiple server instances. You will learn how to: Understand the core concepts of load balancing and AWS ELB types; Configure Application Load Balancers (ALB) step-by-step for Node.js applications; Set up target groups, routing rules, and custom health check paths; Implement modern zero-trust security principles using SSL/TLS termination; Monitor traffic patterns and troubleshoot common connection issues. The course starts with essential infrastructure terminology and foundational concepts before moving into practical configuration steps, security hardening, and traffic management strategies. This course is designed for backend developers, systems administrators, and cloud beginners who want to build reliable, production-ready AWS setups. No prior cloud infrastructure experience is required. Start building highly available systems today.
