When should NLB be used instead of ALB?

Question

Mahesh B · Accepted Answer

Network Load Balancer (NLB) should be used instead of Application Load Balancer (ALB) when handling TCP/UDP traffic at Layer 4, requiring high throughput and low latency, or needing a static IP address. NLB is suitable for applications that do not require advanced routing or HTTP header inspection, such as VoIP applications and database connections.
