Hello.
You should read the official documentation.
High availability and scalability strategies (this one is quite long)
Recommended configurations for Load Balancing (this one you have to read)
OutSystems is agnostic to the system you choose, so it should work fine as YARP is a layer 7 like the documentation specifies.
Thanks, this been a great help!
@Samran Uppal : YARP is not really a standalone thing like NGINX where you install it, point it at your front-end nodes, and you're good to go. It's more of a library/toolkit for building your own proxy inside a .NET app, so you'd end up writing and hosting that yourself rather than just configuring something off the shelf.
When you said 'A YARP load balancer to be specific' - what is the use case behind that? If it is just load balancing and health checks across the front-ends, NGINX or HAProxy will get you there with way less to build and maintain.
