I've actually dealt with this precise problem, HAProxy doesn't really solve the problem of an excess of traffic. At some point you'll start dropping connections or people will give up waiting.
What you really want is something more like Varnish, a pass through caching proxy that handles known requests from memory, and any novel requests go through.
- smallbigfish 9y agoI agree that Varnish might be a good addition but in the end it depends on the exact setup you're running and which hardware resource is used the most. My opinion is that the CPU is usually the first to fall and you will not help it quite that much with an in-memory cache when the actual problem is the https overhead or the PHP/DB processing.
