Guidance for Load Balancing Advertising Real-Time Bidding Traffic with HAProxy on AWS

Overview

This Guidance demonstrates how implementing HAProxy Enterprise can help
modernize ad-tech infrastructure, delivering substantial business and
technical advantages. It shows how to harness advanced load balancing
and traffic management capabilities to significantly enhance the
performance and reliability of high-frequency ad bidding systems. The
Guidance helps ad-tech companies optimize real-time data processing,
enabling faster decision-making and improved ad targeting accuracy. By
following this Guidance, companies can achieve greater operational
efficiency, improved scalability, and a competitive edge in the
fast-paced digital advertising landscape.

Benefits

Process millions of ad requests per second with optimized HAProxy on Graviton instances. Reduce latency through direct pod routing and efficient TLS termination, ensuring sub-500ms response times critical for RTB revenue optimization.

Deploy hardened AMIs with 30-second faster bootstrap times and automatic registration to the HAProxy Fusion Control Plane. Respond dynamically to advertising traffic patterns while maintaining consistent performance during peak demand periods.

Centralize configuration management across your HAProxy fleet while leveraging intelligent log sampling and Graviton instances. Cut energy usage by up to 60% compared to standard instances while maintaining the high performance required for ad-tech workloads.

Eliminate single points of failure with multi-AZ deployments and comprehensive health checks at every layer. Maintain continuous service even during component failures through redundant NLB distribution and automatic instance replacement.
