HAProxyConf 2019 - From 1.5 into the Future by Christian Platzer

Mar 17, 2020 By HAProxy In HAProxy
At Willhaben, we run Austria’s largest classified advertising marketplace. We started using HAProxy due to our need to move to an all-HTTPS environment.

We achieve scalability with Anycast but needed to make sure the configurations could keep up with application changes.
