HAProxy is a free and open source software that provides a high availability load balancer and proxy (forward proxy,[1] reverse proxy) for TCP and HTTP-based applications that spreads requests across multiple servers.[2] It is written in C[3] and has a reputation for being fast and efficient (in terms of processor and memory usage).[4]

HAProxy is used by a number of high-profile websites including GoDaddy, GitHub, Bitbucket,[5] Stack Overflow,[6] Reddit, Slack,[7] Speedtest.net, Tumblr, Twitter[8][9] and Tuenti[10] and is used in the OpsWorks product from Amazon Web Services.[11]

History

HAProxy was written in 2000[12] by Willy Tarreau,[13] a core contributor to the Linux kernel,[14] who still maintains the project.

In 2013, the company HAProxy Technologies, LLC was created.[citation needed] The company provides a commercial offering, HAProxy Enterprise and appliance-based application-delivery controllers named ALOHA.

Servers equipped with 6 to 8 cores generally achieve between 200,000 and 500,000 requests per second, and have no trouble saturating a 25 Gbit/s connection under Linux.[22] 64-core ARM servers were shown to reach 2 million requests per second and 100 Gbit/s.[23]
