How HAProxy forwards 2 Million Requests Per Second? - The Backend Engineering Show

In this show, I go into detail on how HAProxy achieved 2 million HTTP requests per second. This is a very well-written article that discusses how the HAProxy team benchmarked the product on a 64 core ARM machine leading to over 2 million requests per second. There are many components and low-level points that I try to elaborate on, timestamps below.  0:00 Intro  2:40 Summary of the Article  11:55 Latency and Throughput in HAProxy 2.3 vs 2.4  21:00 How TCP Connections Affects Performance  28:00 Maximum Packets we can get in 100Gbps Network?  35:00 How 64 Cores are divided between workloads  40:00 Tail latencies HAProxy 2.3 vs 2.4  42:50 How TLS Affects Performance?  HAProxy Blog https://www.haproxy.com/blog/haproxy-forwards-over-2-million-http-requests-per-second-on-a-single-aws-arm-instance/ Support my work on PayPal https://bit.ly/33ENps4 Become a Member on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_ML5xP23TOWKUcc-oAE_Eg/join 🧑‍🏫 Courses I Teach https://husseinnasser.com/courses
