Scaleway Backends API

The Load Balancer backend object. It represents a set of backend servers that the frontend forwards requests to using the specified configuration (port, protocol, proxy protocol etc). You can create multiple backends for each of your Load Balancers. Use the backends endpoint to create backends, list, manage and update them and their healthchecks / backend servers, and delete them as required
