I use the tool mostly for small and quick load-balancing tasks. Additionally, I integrate it with Docker because the integration is quite fine.

What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
What I like best about the product is its simplicity and speed. When you need to set up a load balancer quickly, HAProxy offers options like sticky sessions and round-robin. It's also fast to configure, including adding SSL for security. While it may have fewer options than other solutions like F5, HAProxy gets the job done for basic load-balancing tasks.
The reliability features of HAProxy were particularly useful in a scenario where I needed to test load balancing between two Tomcats. Since these domains were inaccessible, I set up a third Docker with HAProxy, which had access to the Tomcat domains. I then configured HAProxy to handle the load balancing. This setup allowed the client to interact with HAProxy.
The solution's integration with other elements is easy.
What needs improvement?
Improving the documentation with multiple examples and scenarios would be beneficial. Most users encounter similar situations, so having a variety of scenarios readily available on the tool's website would be helpful. For instance, if I were part of the HAProxy team, I'd create a webpage with different scenarios and provide files for each scenario. This way, users wouldn't have to start from scratch every time.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the product for six years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate the tool's stability a nine out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I've only deployed a single instance and focused on monitoring it.
How are customer service and support?
I haven't had direct experience with their technical support team. Whenever I encounter issues, I usually turn to Stack Overflow. I've found that other users often have similar problems, and I can usually find solutions there.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The tool is open-source.
What other advice do I have?
I rate the overall product an eight out of ten. It is good and famous.
