Whats a good droplet size for HAProxy loadbalancer

Posted on October 23, 2015

Hi Guys,

Im looking to set up an HA proxy load balancer for one of my sites. Ive set it up before for dev environments but this is for a live site and wanted to make sure I have a powerful enough droplet. I just want a Layer 4 set up to balance my traffic between two app servers.

Can anyone recommend a good size/spec droplet to run HAProxy?

What do you guys run it on?

Thanks, Chris
