HAProxy is an industry-standard open-source load balancer known for exceptional performance, capable of handling 10,000+ requests per second on modest hardware. We configure HAProxy with optimised settings for connection pooling, keepalive parameters, and buffer sizes designed for your specific workload. Our implementations include advanced features such as stick tables for session persistence, ACL-based routing rules, and integration with health check systems. HAProxy's lightweight footprint and transparent configuration make it ideal for cost-conscious organisations requiring enterprise-grade load balancing without vendor lock-in.

Implementation Methodology

Proven Process for High-Availability Load Balancing

Architecture Assessment & Tuning

We analyse your traffic patterns, application architecture, and scaling requirements to design a load balancing strategy optimised for your specific workload. Ongoing performance tuning optimises balancing algorithms (round-robin, least-connections, IP hash), connection pooling, and timeout settings based on real-world traffic patterns.

Load Balancer Configuration

Deploy and configure HAProxy, nginx, or cloud load balancers (AWS ALB/NLB, GCP LB) with best practices. Implement session persistence and SSL termination. Configure active and passive health checks to detect failures quickly with automatic failover and intelligent traffic routing during incidents.

Monitoring & Optimisation

Implement complete monitoring with real-time visibility into request distribution, server health, and performance metrics. Continuously monitor and tune based on actual traffic patterns to ensure optimal performance and availability targets are consistently met.

Business Impact

Measurable Results from Load Balancing

Zero Downtime

Resilient
Automatic failover ensures continuous availability. Health checks detect failures in seconds, routing traffic to healthy servers instantly.

Horizontal Scaling

10x capacity growth
Add or remove servers dynamically without disrupting service. Scale infrastructure to match demand patterns and handle traffic spikes.

Optimised Performance

40% faster response
Distribute requests intelligently across servers. Reduce response times by routing to least-loaded or geographically closest servers.

SSL Termination

Lower server load
Offload SSL/TLS processing to the load balancer. Reduce server load significantly and simplify certificate management across your fleet.

Traffic Insights

Real-time analytics
Real-time visibility into request distribution, server health, and performance metrics. Make data-driven infrastructure decisions.

Advanced Routing

Multi-tier routing
Content-based routing, URL path routing, and header-based traffic splitting. Direct requests to optimal backends for each use case.

Global Distribution

Multi-region ready
Deploy load balancers across multiple regions. Route users to nearest endpoints for reduced latency and improved user experience.

Cost Efficiency

Lower TCO
Optimise server utilisation and reduce infrastructure costs. Right-size capacity based on actual demand patterns and traffic analysis.

Load Balancing with Global Distribution

Combine load balancing with edge networks and container orchestration for ultimate resilience and performance

Optimised for Every Platform

We implement load balancing for Magento, Laravel, Symfony, and custom applications
