Anyone have any idea how using HAProxy compares to say Kong?
- graphememes 8y agoI had to muck around a lot more to get HAProxy (2-3 days) do what I could do with Kong out of the box (1-2 hours) and Kong was easier to scale for me (simple terraform scripts).
- jaequery 8y agoI’ve no experience with Kong but HAproxy is one of the simplest and sturdiest daemon server I have ever used. With just a couple tweaks to the config file, I know exactly what it will do and what it can’t do.
- baylisscg 8y agoTo be honest I'd sat Kong is slightly harder to set up as it wants a database (PostgeSQL or Cassandra) but offers more functionality out of the box. HAProxy is more focused on being … well a proxy for example it can handle straight TCP too. Its like the PostgreSQL vs ${NoSQL de jour}. HAProxy works fine to great as a default choice unless you've some requirement that makes Kong more attractive.
