Managed HAProxy, looked after for you

HAProxy spreads traffic across several servers and removes one that is unhealthy. A mistake in the configuration can take down everything behind it, so changes need care.

What we handle

HAProxy: what we look after

  • Frontends, backends and health checks written and tested
  • TLS termination with strong settings and certificate renewal
  • Sticky sessions, timeouts and rate limits where needed
  • Stats page protected and alerts on backend failures
Problems we fix

When HAProxy goes wrong

  • A backend marked down because the health check is wrong
  • Sessions lost when users switch servers
  • One slow server dragging the whole site down
Who it suits

Who uses managed HAProxy

Teams that spread traffic across several servers and want failover.

What it needs

Two or more backend servers, one or two HAProxy servers, and clear health check endpoints.

First look

What we check first

Before we change anything on a new HAProxy setup, we look at these, and we tell you what we found in plain words:

  • Backends and health checks
  • TLS settings
  • Timeouts and limits
  • Stats page access
How it works

From order to a watched HAProxy setup

HAProxy is part of every managed plan. Besides what is listed above, each plan includes outside checks every minute, off-server backups, security hardening and a team that answers your tickets. The price counts servers, not apps.

01

Tell us what you run

Order a managed plan and list your servers and the apps on them, or write to us first with questions.

02

We look before we touch

We check what is installed, what is out of date and what is not backed up, and tell you in plain words.

03

Backups and watching first

Backups and outside checks are set up before any change, so we can always go back.

04

Then the steady work

Updates, security, tuning and fixes follow, and you can ask us anything by ticket.

Plans start at ₹1,999 a month for one server. GST is added at checkout. See all managed plans.

FAQ

HAProxy support: your questions answered

Do you set up two load balancers for high availability?

Yes, on the Enterprise plan or as agreed, with a floating address or a similar approach. We plan it with you.

Can HAProxy balance databases?

It can balance TCP traffic, for example to read replicas. We check that your app handles it correctly.

Is HAProxy covered by the managed plans?

Yes. The managed plans count servers, not applications, so HAProxy on your server is covered with no extra price per app. Plans start at ₹1,999 a month for one server, and GST is added at checkout.
