Nova is a centrally managed, container-based ADC platform providing Layer 7 load balancing, GSLB, WAF and web acceleration. Nova is cloud-native, hyperscale and intelligent.
Software load balancing, web acceleration, WAF and global DNS load balancer. Blazing fast throughputs, high SSL TPS and runs on any cloud, VM or bare metal.
Compare Snapt Nova and Snapt Aria. You can even try them both for free.
All Snapt ADCs (Nova and Aria) come with a powerful load balancer, web application firewall (WAF), GSLB and web accelerator for AWS, and can be launched in the Amazon marketplace.
Amazon’s Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) and ALB (application load balancer) provide only the bare essentials for load balancing. They don't offer WAF, GSLB, advanced health monitoring or other key features, and they can become complex and expensive if you need to scale out.
The Nova Application Load Balancer platform (Load Balancer, WAF, GLSB and Accelerator) features intelligent, scalable traffic management across physical, virtual, and cloud-hosted platforms.
Snapt Nova and Aria include a Web Application Firewall (WAF) to filter HTTP / Layer 7 traffic. AWS Elastic Load Balancer does not have a WAF and you can't run a WAF in front of ELB.
Snapt Nova and Aria include comprehensive monitoring, health checks and reporting, and the metrics are available over API. In AWS Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) there are no external connectors or APIs for accessing logs in DataDog, NewRelic and cloud-native time-series DBs.
Snapt Nova and Aria support custom rules, policies and settings for more complicated applications. AWS Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) does not support rules or policies and does not allow for customized settings for retries and timeouts.
Snapt Nova and Aria are designed for high-performance internal east-west load balancing between components and microservices. AWS Elastic Load Balancer does not support internal load balancing – you have to send traffic back out to the public internet, adding a significant security risk.
Snapt Nova and Aria help keep costs down as you scale out to meet demand. Our SaaS-style pricing is transparent and gives you discounts as you grow. With Elastic Load Balancer, you’ll pay linearly for the load balancers as you scale out, and for the processed bytes/hr, and for the network costs of moving between AWS zones.
Snapt Nova balances, protects, scales and monitors multiple clouds simultaneously, providing resilient DNS and intelligent disaster recovery. ELB is designed to only work with AWS.

9 things everyone should consider before leaving the load balancing to Amazon ELB.
For startups and DevOps teams running small projects, spinning up a load balancer is on the checklist of things to prepare for scale. If your primary compute environment is Amazon Web Services, then the fastest and easiest option is to provision Amazon’s basic Elastic Load Balancer (ELB).
Here are some of the questions you should ask yourself as part of your decision.
