How Pangolin Works
Pangolin is a zero-trust access platform that provides secure, identity-centric access to applications and infrastructure - without opening firewall ports or deploying traditional VPNs. Let's walk through how the system works.
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.
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:
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.
The health check system continuously monitors your targets from inside Newt and automatically removes unhealthy instances from the load balancing rotation.
Here's how simple it is to set up high-availability load balancing:
