Haproxy is such a nice piece of software, sensible configuration, very stable and versatile. And, one thing that is highly appreciated, I've never seen it do something I wasn't expecting it to. This quality of minimal surprises in its operation isn't going unnoticed by any measure.
- closeparen 6y agoHas it solved the reloading problem yet?
- rbjorklin 6y agoYup, https://www.haproxy.com/blog/hitless-reloads-with-haproxy-howto/ https://www.haproxy.com/blog/hitless-reloads-with-haproxy-ho...
- kqr 6y agoThere are some edges that were still a bit rough at least in 1.8. In particular, the way it handles reloading state from the state file, and the interactions with that state and the configuration file. I don't remember the exact details, but the allowed formats of some identifiers were different, and it didn't do "the obvious thing" when the configuration and state file contained a different set of definitions, IIRC. This was consistent, but not very well documented. It works fine for us now, so we like it, of course, but it took some production incidents to figure out how it all worked. (We did test before shipping, of course, but these were hard-to-predict edge cases.)
