I've found DO load balancers cannot reliably handle tls termination over 100 connections per second, and fail completely above around 300/s. Are there plans to make the load balancers more robust as part of this change? We had to switch to DNS load balancing because DO's solution simply could not scale.

Hey Eric, load balancers are getting an upgrade in the near future. Keep your eyes peeled this week!
That is great to hear! A few things I'd really like to see:

* Ability to retrieve host health status in API

* Better throughput guarantees, especially with TLS

* Ability to serve from unhealthy nodes if all nodes are unhealthy

* Load Balancer Health Monitoring
