This repo contains the processes necessary to build a dynamic haproxy container that acts as a load balancer to http backends.
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.
For example usage, please see the stack-haproxy repo.
