What about load balancers?
Does Digital Ocean provide load balancers?
Unfortunately we do not offer load balancers. However, this feature is on the roadmap -- see https://digitalocean.uservoice.com/forums/136585-digitalocean/suggestions/2670745-load-balancer.
Meanwhile, you can set up load balancing yourself. We have a few articles on load balancing:
- HTTP load balancing using HAProxy.
- HTTP load balancing using nginx.
- MySQL load balancing using HAProxy.

This article covers how to set up a simple load balancer on a DigitalOcean droplet with nginx. The tutorial covers setting up a round robin loadbalancer that can then direct site visitors to one of a set of IPs

ditto. What’s Digital Ocean’s recommended solution for load balancing?
You could use pikacloud.com to set up load balancing between your droplets.
We have been using zvncloud (www.zvncloud.com) sevices from the begining and it works like a charm, they have created a LBaaS Infraestructure with Zen Load Balancer www.zenloadbalancer.com.
It supports:
Load Balancing in L4 for any potocol TCP or UDP
Content switching for HTTP protocols
SSL offloading
Reverse proxy supported.
etc
We have been making some stress test and we have reached 80.000 concurrent connections, awesome, isn’t it?
