stackhub/haproxy repository overview

⁠Purpose

This repo contains the processes necessary to build a dynamic haproxy container that acts as a load balancer to http backends.

⁠Overview

Conceptually, this container is meant to be balance n number of backend http services. These will typically be nginx
e.g. nginx-backend-eg⁠ or apache-backend-eg⁠

However a golang binary or Tomcat service that answers httpd requests would also work as well.

The container checks every 5 seconds for new services at its serivce key.
When it sees a change, it rewrites the haproxy.cfg file and reloads the haproxy service.

⁠Usage

For example usage, please see the stack-haproxy repo⁠.
