What I would like to see is a way to change the HAProxy configuration on the fly, or something like a configuration backend. That would avoid reloading HAProxy after each config change, and allow a much more flexible configuration.
- cdavid 14y agoWhy is haproxy reloading an issue ? It works pretty well in my experience (although I am not in the web business anymore, so things may have changed in the last two years).
- bastichelaar 14y agoReloading is no issue when you have few frontends or backends. But when you have a lot of front- or backends, the configuration file will be huge, and reloading will take some time. If you need to reload every few seconds, this might even cause downtime. But I guess our workload is not the usual implementation of HAProxy...
