If your app can leverage the tuple-spaces model (eg, javaspaces), then
you do not need a load balancer at all. Workers pull work from the
tuple-space... if you have more workers, more work gets pulled. If
you have faster workers, more work gets pulled
faster. Auto-balanced.
No need for the orchestration. Load balancers are needed
for the push model.
