John would have leveraged Cloudflare's Load Balancing feature to distribute traffic across multiple servers or data centers. He likely set up multiple origin servers and configured health checks to automatically route traffic away from unresponsive or slow servers. For global deployments, John might have implemented geo-steering to direct users to the nearest available data center, reducing latency. He could have configured failover mechanisms to redirect traffic in case of server outages. John might have also set up load balancing rules based on factors like server performance or custom application logic. Additionally, he could have integrated load balancing with Cloudflare's analytics to monitor traffic distribution and server health, allowing for data-driven optimizations. John improved web service reliability and performance using Cloudflare's Load Balancing by distributing traffic across multiple servers, implementing health checks and failover mechanisms, configuring geo-steering for optimal routing, and integrating with analytics for ongoing optimization, resulting in enhanced availability and reduced latency.
