Overall Satisfaction with HAProxy

I currently have HAProxy set up for myself. It is acting as a front end to my MariaDB and PostgreSQL databases. I also have it handling my postfix setup between my site-to-site VPN tunnels. It works great! The stats page helps a lot!

Pros

  • Load balancing
  • Clustering

Cons

  • Configuration examples
  • Low-cost deployment
  • Limited support for free product
  • Mailing list response is not the quickest (maybe implement a forum?)
This is the only load balancer I've used.
For an open source load balancer, this is great. Works easily out of the box. Configuration is what will take the longest amount of time. But it will expose you to how a load balancer works.
