About HAProxy

HAProxy distributes TCP and HTTP traffic across back-end servers with health checking, connection queuing, sticky sessions, rate limiting and TLS termination. It is known for handling very high connection rates on modest hardware and for a configuration language that exposes almost every decision point.

Strengths

  • Handles extremely high connection rates with predictable latency
  • Detailed health checking, queuing and rate limiting built in

Limitations

  • Configuration is its own language with a steep learning curve
  • No native automatic certificate issuance; ACME is handled alongside it
