Overall Satisfaction with HAProxy
We use HAProxy primarily to load balance our traffic to our systems. It allows us to have highly available systems that we can easily scale out on in as necessary. We also use it to load balance traffic to our database servers, so load is evenly distributed, and it we want to add or remove a node(s) we can do so without adjusting any application configs.
- Allow traffic to systems to be distributed evenly, providing high availability
- Allow restrictions to resources using OAuth tokens
- Allow load balancing of databases
- A few, rare times each year, HAProxy CPU utilization spikes to 100% and server has to be rebooted - this may be related to HAProxy OR it could be an external factor causing this.
- HAProxy has saved us money on many fronts, and really fulfilled our expectations in each use of it we have deployed.

HAProxy has been more reliable than any other load balancing product we have used or tried. It just works, pretty much flawlessly. Other competing products were unreliable and required a lot of maintenance.
