Overall Satisfaction with HAProxy

We use HA Proxy as a proxy server and as a balancer for servers (layer 4, IP) and for applications (layer 7).In this way, we manage to have part of the content of the applications cached and we also balance the load of an application between several servers. In this way, we can provide high availability and balanced service with low economic cost.

We chose HA Proxy because it is cheaper than a hardware balancer, it is an open-source solution with a large community behind it and with constant updates. It also allows custom scripts according to needs.HA Proxy is a solution used in many internet sites like GitHub, Reddit, Twitter, and Tuenti.

In our company, we use the HA Proxy to balance internal applications or external applications with a number of connections that are not too excessive. For critical applications or with a huge number of connections we use a hardware balancer. In this way, we manage to minimize the economic costs of the infrastructures.
