OverviewCustomize load balancer behaviorIntegrate with other Cloudflare productsIntegrate with 3rd parties




Beyond creating a simple load balancer, you may want to further customize how your load balancer routes traffic or integrate your load balancer with other Cloudflare products.


Customize load balancer behavior


Route traffic according to characteristics of each request by creating custom rules

Protect at-risk endpoints from reaching failover by setting up load shedding

Take endpoints out of rotation for planned maintenance

Return endpoint hostnames as CNAME records to support downstream DNS steering with CNAME flattening for endpoints


Integrate with other Cloudflare products


Bring load balancing to your TCP or UDP applications with Cloudflare Spectrum

Further secure endpoint access with Cloudflare Tunnel


Integrate with 3rd parties


Increase visibility by sending health monitor notifications to PagerDuty
