Optimizing HAProxy at scale: Liftoff's path to efficiency, performance, and cost savings

HAProxy is the world's fastest and most widely used software load balancer. Liftoff leverages HAProxy to simplify, scale, and secure modern applications, APIs, and AI services. This presentation will share Liftoff's HAProxy implementation, including migration from a third party vendor.

What you'll learn:

• Service Discovery implementation replacing Route53 to answer DNS queries from HAProxy
• Single AZ with HA setup for reducing costs and simplifying infrastructure
• Improved log management and analysis techniques
• Direct Pod Connections to backend applications (pods) in Kubernetes using service discovery

Attendees will gain insights into real-world use cases and best practices for implementing HAProxy at scale while achieving significant cost savings and operational improvements.
