Hey @Ashwani!

Thank you for your valuable feedback and interest in improving our course. We appreciate the suggestion.

However, materializing this suggestion may take us out of the system design domain. Our discussion on load balancers is confined to their role in achieving scalability, reliability, and mainly availability of the design in question. Also, at the design level, we usually don’t focus on a specific product (nginx) until unless that product was a pioneer to show a novel idea in action. There are product info pages and product tutorials to set up specific load balancer products.

We hope Educative has inspired you to further your learning :slight_smile:
