Hi there,
The main purpose of using a load balancer would be to load balance the traffic between two or more identical Droplets.
So for your case you would need to have your API and website’s content deployed on one Droplet and then replicate the content of that Droplet to another one as follows:
If you want to have your API hosted on one Droplet and then your website on another Droplet, in this case, there will be no need for a load balancer.
Hope that this helps! Best, Bobby
