What is HAProxy?
HaProxy, short for High Availability Proxy, is a free and open-source HTTP load balancer and reverse-proxy solution that is widely used to provide high availability to web applications and guarantee maximum possible uptime.
It is a high-performance application that injects performance improvements to your web apps by distributing traffic across multiple endpoints.
This way, it ensures that no webserver is overloaded with incoming HTTP requests since the workload is equitably distributed across several nodes.
While free, the Enterprise Edition provides added features such as WAF ( Web Application Firewall ), application acceleration, advanced DDoS protection, advanced health checks and so much more.

One will act as the HAProxy load balancer, while the rest will act as web servers.
