The "official" HAProxy docker builds are strictly controlled by the Docker team. For builds created directly by HAProxy Technologies you can find them here: https://hub.docker.com/u/haproxytech

Yes, the same configuration should work between both. Although some options are no longer required to be set such as nbproc/nbthread. To be safe pass it through the configuration checker (-c on the command line).

Something very similar can be achieved in HAProxy using a powerful feature called stick tables. [1] [2] [3]

HAProxy supports quite complex configurations. We've actually found that many of our users are only realizing extremely basic capabilities so we have been working on increasing our blog content to help them take advantage of some of the more complex configurations that can be done. We've even found that many users are not aware that HAProxy now supports Hitless Reloads [1].

Quite a bit of complex routing and dynamic configurations can be provided by map files [2] and these and many other settings can be updated directly from the Runtime API [3].

With that said -- we are actively working to make things even better and intend to introduce support for updating SSL certificates/keys directly through the Runtime API as well as introducing a Data Plane API for HAProxy.

We have a new release coming any day now and this will lay the foundation that will allow us to continue to provide best-in-class performance while accelerating cutting edge feature delivery.

No, the peers protocol only syncs the stick-table data between other haproxy instances, but doesn't aggregate the values. The stick table aggregator aggregates all of the values from all of your haproxy instances.

Assume that you have 2 haproxy instances and a client makes 2 requests and each request lands on a separate haproxy instance. With peers, the request count would sync as "1" but with the stick table aggregator the request count would sync as "2".

You might want to check out this post on using HAProxy as an API Gateway:

https://www.haproxy.com/blog/using-haproxy-as-an-api-gateway...

It has a section on rate limiting. Specifically check out the section which starts with the sentence: "Optionally, instead of a daily limit as used above, you can also do it based on the rate of the requests."

We have updated the post and added a section to match this use case. You can find it under the subsection "Protecting TCP (non-HTTP) Services"

Soon we'll release a post about bot detection and protection with HAProxy. If you'd like to see us cover a specific topic feel free to reply to me here and I'll pass it onto the team.

We greatly appreciate these comments :) I'll pass these nice words on to the teams involved. Regarding the hardware -- I'll submit that suggestion as I believe it's definitely a good topic to cover. Thanks again!

The current method integrates with both init scripts and systemd. You shouldn't need to manually pass any of that information. Also, the -x option is not required if you are running HAProxy in master/worker mode in which case sending a SIGUSR2 to the master process would be sufficient. With that said, we do have further improvements planned for an upcoming release. Stay tuned :)

Hello, HAProxy 1.8 brought hitless reloads and has solved all of these issues. You can find information on this here [1][2]

[1] https://www.haproxy.com/blog/truly-seamless-reloads-with-hap...

Hello, HAProxy has a long history of being secure [1]. In a standard configuration it also segregates itself and spawns within a chroot.

Booking.com [2] uses HAProxy for edge delivery over other software load balancers.

Github [3][4] has used it to mitigate DDoS attacks and StackOverflow [5] has used it to detect and protect against bot threats.

Finally, phk, the author of Varnish states [6] (in regards to implementing SSL/TLS): “When I look at something like Willy Tarreau's HAProxy I have a hard time to see any significant opportunity for improvement.”

Hello, feel free to hop on the HAProxy Slack: slack.haproxy.org or optionally on IRC: Freenode/chat.freenode.net #haproxy and we'll be more than happy to take a peek at the errors / configuration in question.

Thanks for pointing this out. We have corrected this.
