Hi,
What are the thresholds for determining recommended load balancer size (https://www.digitalocean.com/products/load-balancer/? I did not see any relevant traffic stats - it would be helpful to give approximate traffic volume / peak volume.
Thanks, Dave

Hey, @epsilon1dev check LB page here https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/networking/load-balancers/
the size will depend on thenumber of concurrent connections you want your LB to hold per each moment of time.
| Load Balancer Size | Cost | Maximum Simultaneous Connections | Maximum New SSL Connections per Second | Recommended Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small | $10/month | 10,000 | 250 | Static websites and blogs with low to moderate traffic |
| Medium | $30/month | 20,000 | 500 | Transaction-driven sites or services with moderate traffic |
| Large | $60/month | 40,000 | 1000 | Busy sites, services, or endpoints where high performance is a must |
