Health Checks and Load Balancing on Targets for Resources
Health checks and automatic failover are in Pangolin Cloud, remote node Pangolin instances, and self-hosted editions! This powerful combination of intelligent load balancing and automated health monitoring makes it incredibly simple to build resilient, high-availability applications that can handle failures gracefully.

What's New?
Target-Level Site Assignment
We've restructured how sites work in Pangolin. Instead of attaching sites directly to resources, sites are now attached to individual targets. This architectural change unlocks new capabilities:
- Cross-site redundancy: Deploy targets across different sites for geographic failover
- Cross-site load balancing: Load balance users between different sites hosting many instances of the application
Automatic Load Balancing
When you add multiple targets to a resource, Pangolin automatically begins round-robin load balancing between them if they are attached to the same node. Traffic is distributed evenly across all healthy targets.
Intelligent Health Monitoring
The health check system continuously monitors your targets from inside Newt and automatically removes unhealthy instances from the load balancing rotation.
