I have a simple alternative method in mind for SAAS (software as a service) apps.
Manual/statistical load balancing --- assign users to a specific server based on their login credentials. A statistical model of server utilization can be maintained and users assigned or re-assigned as needed. Latency can be reduced to zero by simply forwarding the connection to the proper server once the login is complete.
The obvious downside is a custom load balancer implementation is required.
Does anyone have any experience using NodeJS as a load balancer for something like this?
