HAProxy help us for Load balancer setup proxy setup
HAProxy fast and easy to get started
What do you like best about the product?
HAProxy is fast, it will run well on the lowest spec hardware, and you don't even need to think about resources until you have tens of thousands of connections. Config changes, even things like adjusting TLS ciphers, can be completed with a service reload, which won't impact app availability. Coming from a windows environment where this would need a reboot is a breath of fresh air.
Configuration files are easier to read and far less complex than other load balancer technologies.
You can also start with the free open source version and only look into the enterprise option if you need the features.

What do you dislike about the product?
Default logging was always a pain, needing a local syslog instance or similar. I think this has improved but default logging and reporting out the box is very raw and you will need a good log solution to parse the logs and a tool such as graffana to make sense of it all.
Many SEIM solutions don't yet have haproxy log parsers built in. Not a fault of HAProxy but be prepared to roll your own.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fast and effective web application load balancing. HAProxy allows us to adjust http headers, TLS ciphers and manipulate traffic to work around issues that we would struggle to do otherwise.
Thé right tool for reverse proxying
What do you like best about the product?
The performance and capacities once you get the logic right
What do you dislike about the product?
Http redirects are quite tricky sometimes
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Complex routing, healthchecks, security
With HAProxy, we are able to facilitate not only load balancing criteria but also monitor App health
What do you like best about the product?
HAProxy adeptly aggregates table data from our cluster of load balancers on a real-time basis. Inspecting tag values within our logon messages is done quickly as soon as our client sends them. We can easily modify rate-limiting thresholds for traffic loads that are dynamic in nature. The Resolvers offered by HAProxy enable DNS server listing over TCP so that we are able to manage multiple DNS responses.
What do you dislike about the product?
We would like to have a few connection headways to promote reusability. This would greatly help us overcome the constraints of limited connectivity over TLS. Also, we could connect multiple backend servers without worrying about our SNI metrics & no. of host header requests with these improvisations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In our organization, HAProxy is configured in such a way that it not only takes care of load-balancing requirements but also gathers health metrics for our applications. We integrate Prometheus with HAProxy to collect metrics & obtain visualizations in the HAProxy Dashboard. We can also enable the auto-removal option for failed servers as it benefits load balancing rotation & saves cost. This ensures that all our servers are in proper health and failed servers are automatically replicated during unexpected outages.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use HAProxy as an ingress point for all external traffic, utilizing load balancing and filtering features. It is out of the box tuned for high performance and allows to utilize less compute resources to achieve more results compared to competitors. Also, if we need to add a new feature to our load balancers fleet, very likely it's already supported by HAProxy and what is needed is to just configure it.
