  <title>HA-Proxy is a TCP/HTTP reverse proxy for high availability environments </title>

  <description>HA-Proxy is a TCP/HTTP reverse proxy which is particularly suited for high

availability environments. Indeed, it can:

- route HTTP requests depending on statically assigned cookies

- spread the load among several servers while assuring server persistence

  through the use of HTTP cookies

- switch to backup servers in the event a main one fails

- accept connections to special ports dedicated to service monitoring

- stop accepting connections without breaking existing ones

- add/modify/delete HTTP headers both ways

- block requests matching a particular pattern

​

It needs very little resource. Its event-driven architecture allows it to easily

handle thousands of simultaneous connections on hundreds of instances without

risking the system's stability.
