# What is HAProxy?
HAProxy is a free, open source high availability solution, providing load
balancing and proxying for TCP and HTTP-based applications by spreading requests
across multiple servers. It is written in C and has a reputation for being fast
and efficient (in terms of processor and memory usage).

# How to use this image
Since no two users of HAProxy are likely to configure it exactly alike, this
image does not come with any default configuration.
Please refer to [upstream's excellent (and comprehensive)
documentation](https://cbonte.github.io/haproxy-dconv/) on the subject of
configuring HAProxy for your needs.
It is also worth checking out the [`examples/` directory from
upstream](http://www.haproxy.org/git?p=haproxy-1.5.git;a=tree;f=examples).
