Starting to develop to actual code to my website and wanted to know how do i develop or design the website that is load balance friendly. I read a post on stackoverflow regarding scalability and the selected answer stated: "Make sure you consider load balancing when developing your application". How do I go about this?

Load balancing may be transparent if a specialized device is between the client and server. Or the communication protocol needs to support connection redirects. Edit: Load balancing can be implemented by DNS round robin too. Each DNS lookup call returns another IP address for the same domain name.
What is Application Load Balancer? The Application Load Balancer is a feature of Elastic Load Balancing that allows a developer to configure and route incoming end-user traffic to applications based in the AWS public cloud. In a cloud environment with multiple web services, load balancing is essential.
Your decision will come down to environment. If this is a product for sale, you will not have any control over the load balancing implementation. This means that "sticky sessions," where a user is bound to the same server for the duration of a session, cannot be guaranteed. Sticky sessions allow just about any application to be load-balanced, but they are not as efficient.
If you cannot guarantee an implementation with sticky sessions, avoid the usage of Session state altogether, or look into a shared-session solution.
