HAProxy
Load balancer and reverse proxy for TCP and HTTP applications, built as a single multi-threaded daemon.
HAProxy is a load balancer and reverse proxy for TCP and HTTP traffic. It runs as a multi-threaded, event-driven daemon written in C. It is installed from a source tarball published on haproxy.org, from Debian and Ubuntu packages or from its Docker images, which come in Alpine-based, Debian-based and RHEL-based variants. The project maintains several branches at once, and each branch has its own end-of-life date, which endoflife.date lists.
Worth knowing
HAProxy Enterprise is a commercial edition, sold with pricing on request. Its source is mirrored on GitHub, while the project’s own git repositories are on git.haproxy.org.
