Abstract
Various embodiments load balance service requests across one or more servers. In one embodiment, a service requestor directly accesses a shared metrics array stored in at least one server of a plurality of servers in a service cluster. Each of these servers includes one or more services. The shared metrics array is accessible by each of the plurality of servers, and includes a set of metrics for each of the plurality of servers. A determination is made based on the set of metrics associated with at least one server in the plurality of servers if a service request is to be sent to the at least one server. The service request is sent to the at least one server based on determining that the service request is to be sent to the at least one sever.
