I've been using it heavily under production loads, and the balancing portion hasn't blinked.
I'm also doing SSL termination at it, so I don't really have any metrics on the balancing in isolation, but for moving 50-100 concurrent connections around it hasn't blinked.
I do really like HAProxy's more flexible up/down monitoring, though. In the past, we've done the trick with separate control connections that we can bring up & down with iptables to shuffle traffic around without any broken connections.
- cmer 14y agoHaving SSL termination on a single box is definitely a big plus; that's how I wanted to do it as well. Did you miss Haproxy's web ui? Does nginx have any way of reporting if a server is down?
- sciurus 14y agoHAProxy 1.5 supports SSL. I've had good luck with it so far.
- scottbruin 14y agoHow much traffic are you pushing through it? I've been planning to set up stunnel + HAProxy on separate instances once we're comfortable going with 1.5, but am curious if we could get away terminating SSL on the same instance as HAProxy runs.
- sciurus 14y agoSo far it has just been used in development and QA environments. Unfortunately I'm not sure how much traffic our load testing pushes through it.
