Thanks for the shoutout, Saurabh! 🙌 When I read Cell-based Architecture, I instantly thought of load balancing. How do the two compare? Would load balancing, like Elastic Load Balancing on AWS, be a type of cell-based architecture?
Happy to share the great article you wrote Akos! 🙌
Cell-based architecture and Load Balancing are somewhat related concepts. But I'd describe it more as load balancers being part of a cell in a cell-based architecture.
A cell consists of workloads that are independent from other cells. Like a tenant within a multi-tenant system. Even if a cell (consisting of services, load balancer, and databases) fails, it has no impact on other cells running the same workload.

Thanks for the clarification! 🤝
Helm chart with K8s, what a powerful combo, enabling zero-downtime deployments. Great post my friend!
Indeed a very powerful combination Daniel!
Would definitely love to explore it in more detail in a future edition...
