Service characteristics:
{{service_description}}

Traffic pattern: {{traffic_pattern}}
Session requirements: {{session_requirements}}

Think through systematically:

1. TRAFFIC ANALYSIS: Is traffic evenly distributed or bursty?

2. REQUEST TYPES: Are all requests equal or do some require more resources?

3. SESSION STATE: Do we need sticky sessions? Why?

4. HEALTH CHECKING: How do we know a backend is healthy?

5. ALGORITHM OPTIONS: Compare round-robin, least-connections, weighted, IP-hash.

6. FAILOVER: What happens when a backend fails?

7. SCALING: How does the strategy work with auto-scaling?

8. DRAINING: How do we gracefully remove backends?

9. GEOGRAPHIC: Do we need geo-based routing?

10. RECOMMENDATION: Which strategy and why? Configuration suggestions.
