Scale the data request as you wanted with Azure Application gateway
We have a lot of images and files to put in place in our application. We had to find a perfect load balancer, and Azure Application Gateway helped to get this achieved easily, as it is good in scaling as well.
- Uploading images by multiple end-users from several applications like web, mobile, etc.
- When there is a high volume of data requests, it helps to queue them based on the type of request. So it's easy to serve and reduce the loading time from the application layer.
- An application gateway is useful when it can identify the type of details the user is requesting.
- I think, the user interface can be little better.
- Experience on deployment, it should have some good tutorials
- Autoscaling
- Multiple site hosting
- Session affinities
- Costs increased for the company, so expenses were more than before.
- Was able to get better user experience so users won't feel the website is useless.
I have my dependency application in Azure Application Gateway. I had to use this, and it has all the features we were looking for.

Right Solution as Load Balancer and Reverse Proxy
This is a good choice we have made for the new suite of cloud applications which has modern architecture and is highly available. Azure Application Gateway is used as a reverse proxy for multiple web resources. This enables us to load balance and route traffic to appropriate web services and various web resources.
- Easy to set up routing rules
- Redundancy with multiple Azure zones and regions
- Ease provisioning with scripts and APIs
- Live examples in the Azure documentation
- Application Gateway UI Blade in Azure Portal can be streamlined
- Have more advanced feature set as WAF (Web Application Firewall)
- Level 7 Routing
- SSL/TLS Configuration
- Scripting and API support
- Increased Application Uptime and Customer Satisfaction
- Compliance with security regulations
- Productivity increase of deployment engineers
Our company uses Azure Application Gateway in all parts of the company which build and deploy infrastructure into the public cloud. In the business we are in, highly available (HA) applications are the only types of applications that we deploy, and any failure in availability usually is heard in the news later on. Azure Application Gateway ensures availability and scalability under surprising loads our business also faces during peak hours and e.g. specific events.
- Automatic scaling of the target application
- Health monitoring
- Load balancing between multiple sites
- Providing manageability via an API
- HTTP header and URL rewrites
- Advanced networking/routing
- Multi-tenancy support
- Automatic scaling
- Health monitoring
- Routing by URL
- Ability to serve more customers
- Being able to know that service is Highly Available (HA)
- Automated scaling ensures efficient use of resources from public cloud
HAProxy is an excellent load balancer that can also be used in cloud environments (and we do!), and is relied by hyper-large enterprises globally as well. However, HAProxy is a little bit more rudimentary in feature space, it does the core job well and securely, but doesn't provide any fancy additional features. Also, it takes more effort to deploy HAProxy than simply using an in-built feature in the Azure stack.
