Unfortunately we do not offer load balancers. However, this feature is on the roadmap – see <a href=“https://digitalocean.uservoice.com/forums/136585-digitalocean/suggestions/2670745-load-balancer”>https://digitalocean.uservoice.com/forums/136585-digitalocean/suggestions/2670745-load-balancer</a>. <br> <br>Meanwhile, you can set up load balancing yourself.
