How does load balancer know which server to pick? I it polling the servers? Do servers send their load with each rrsponse? Is it pull or push situation?

With Kubernetes api gateways also frequently send to a microservice load balancer that then manages all the services in a node

so if the client makes a req is it client -> api gateway for rate limiting/caching/auth -> lb -> server?

In practice api gateways can get a bit bloated. As they can help with a lot and sit roughly in the application layer, a lot of logic gets used in them.
