What rules should be established for load balancing in relation to published and unpublished apps?

Establishing rules for load balancing in relation to published and unpublished apps is crucial for maintaining performance and availability within a Qlik Sense environment. When selecting the central node for published apps, it ensures that those apps benefit from the higher availability and performance resources. Published apps are generally used by multiple end-users and require a stable and reliable performance, which is where the central node excels.

On the other hand, unpublished apps are typically used for development purposes by individual users and may not need the same level of resources as the published applications. By utilizing a RIM (Reduced Instruction Set Machine) node for unpublished apps, the load is distributed in a way that prevents unnecessary strain on the central node, allowing it to focus on serving published applications efficiently.

This division also helps in optimizing resource usage; the central node can provide better response times and availability for production-level apps, while the RIM nodes can handle the lighter, development-oriented traffic. In this way, a proper balance is maintained, enhancing overall system performance without compromising user experience.
