Alternative to HAProxy + Nginx

Server NGINX

What is a good alternative to HAProxy + Nginx?

I would like to implement a load balancer that is a plug in within nginx
but
is better than what fair currently does.

Please advise

Give this module a try:

It does exactly what you want.

I haven’t seen any additional latencies, in fact i;ve seen decreased
latencies. One thing to keep in mind is that the maxxconss is per
nginx worker so if you have maxxconss=1 and 4 nginx workers you will
end up with 4 conns to each mongrel.

I suggest starting with one or 2 nginx workers and maxxconns=1.

Ezra,

I have been testing it for a while and seems to be working fine. Tests
are
still on…

I have an important question

With a regular mongrel + fair - I am able to process my requests about
200ms lower than with the EY Load Balancer.

Does this add this delay or am I missing something from my side…

Please advise

regards

Asif A.

Hi Ezra,

We had also faced the same problem and right now it is fixed after
applying the patches suggested by you in this thread.

All the above discussion is for Nginx 0.6.34.

Also i am glad to know that is there the same kind of patch is available
for Nginx 0.6.35 (latest stable version).

Thanks,
