Cloudflare Load Balancer is preferred when you have multiple origin servers (or server pools) hosting the same application and need to distribute incoming user traffic across them for high availability, performance optimization, and redundancy. It's excellent for ensuring continuous service through health checks, automatic failover to healthy origins, and routing traffic based on various policies (e.g., geographic location, least connections, round-robin).
