I've found that nginx still performs around 10-15% better than haproxy. I was using the stable version of haproxy, so they may have improved speed with the experimental versions. One nice thing about nginx is that it can use local unix sockets instead of ports for load balancing. The downside of nginx is that you'll have to compile your own -- most Linux distros come with an ancient version of nginx that actually is buggy in certain ways.
- jedberg 18y agoYeah, the new version of haproxy has been shown to be able to hold up on a 10Gbps connection with no problems. We're using 1.3.15.2 with a couple of patches from the experimental version.
- catch23 18y agowell holding up the 10Gbps connection isn't the problem really, i don't think it manages the balance pool as effectively as nginx. I don't believe haproxy supports unix domain socket balancing either.
