title: Can I use load balancer for scaling Azure Service Fabric apps
body: <p>Recently came to know about Azure Service Fabric and seems a good way to develop scaling applications as bunch of micro services. Everywhere it is telling that we need to have stateless front end web services and stateful partitioned internal services. The internal services <a href="https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/service-fabric-concepts-scalability/#comments" rel="nofollow noreferrer">scale by partitioning the data</a>.</p>
  
  <p>But what happens to the front end services in load? .The chances are very less as they are doing nothing but relying to internal stateful services. Still should we use load balancer before front end services? If so, can we host the same too via Service Fabric's Stateless model using OWIN or any other web host?</p>
  
  <p>The question is asked already in SO but as comment. It didnt get reply as the original question was different.
