Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about HAProxy implementation and database load balancing.

What makes HAProxy ideal for database load balancing?

HAProxy excels at database load balancing due to its high performance, low latency, advanced health checking, and support for TCP-based protocols. It can handle millions of concurrent connections while maintaining sub-millisecond response times.

How does HAProxy handle database connection persistence?

HAProxy supports multiple persistence methods including source IP hashing, cookie-based persistence, and custom header-based routing. This ensures that clients maintain consistent connections to the same database server when required for session state or transaction consistency.

Can HAProxy perform SSL termination for database connections?

Yes, HAProxy provides robust SSL/TLS termination capabilities, including support for SNI, OCSP stapling, and modern cipher suites. This offloads encryption overhead from database servers while maintaining secure connections from clients.

How does HAProxy monitor database server health?

HAProxy offers comprehensive health checking including TCP connect checks, HTTP/HTTPS checks, custom script-based checks, and database-specific health queries. Failed servers are automatically removed from rotation and gracefully re-added when healthy.

What load balancing algorithms work best for databases?

The optimal algorithm depends on your use case: least connections for varying query complexity, round robin for homogeneous servers, weighted algorithms for mixed hardware, and source IP hashing for session persistence requirements.

How do you handle database failover with HAProxy?

HAProxy automatically detects failed database servers through health checks and removes them from the load balancing pool. New connections are routed to healthy servers, and failed servers are automatically re-added once they pass health checks again.
