Why this program matters

  • Without HAProxy mastery your servers risk 40% more frequent downtimes during traffic peaks, causing estimated client losses of 5000€/h for an average e-commerce business, single-server overload triggers crashes in 15min under 1000 simultaneous connections, DevOps teams lose 20h/week on manual firefighting, competitors with load balancing capture 30% more traffic, non-scalable infrastructure stalls business growth, and you expose yourself to security breaches such as unmitigated DDoS attacks that amplify recovery costs x3.

HAProxy training objectives

  • Install and configure HAProxy on a Linux environment
  • Implement load balancing to distribute traffic
  • Create ACLs to secure and route requests
  • Configure advanced backends and health checks
  • Monitor performance and debug errors
  • Optimize configurations for high availability

Program

HAProxy curriculum: 5 modules over 5 days

Module 1 : HAProxy Introduction: Installation and Basic Configuration (Linux Tools, Config Files, Initial Tests)

Discover HAProxy by installing the tool on a dedicated Linux VM, configure your first simple frontend and backend, test HTTP proxying through practical exercises, generate your first logs to analyze traffic, while mastering the essential commands for a quick and smooth start.

Module 2 : Load Balancing with HAProxy: Algorithms and Backends (Round-Robin, Leastconn, Health Checks)

Dive into the heart of load balancing by implementing round-robin and leastconn on real cases, add health checks to monitor servers, simulate loads with tools like Apache Bench, produce scalable configurations that boost your apps' availability.

Module 3 : ACLs and Routing in HAProxy: Advanced Conditions (Path, Headers, Source IPs)

Master Access Control Lists to intelligently route traffic by URL path, headers, or IP, apply rules on concrete e-commerce exercises, test redirections and 4xx/5xx errors, create secure setups that protect your critical services today.

Module 4 : Security and SSL in HAProxy: Certificates, TLS Termination (Let's Encrypt, Stickiness)

Secure your flows with SSL termination using free certificates, configure stickiness for persistent sessions, integrate HAProxy with tools like OpenSSL, simulate attacks and responses via interactive labs, deploy bulletproof configs for a resilient infrastructure.

Module 5 : Monitoring and Optimization in HAProxy: Stats Socket, Logs, Performance Tuning (Stats UI, Prometheus)

Finalize by activating the Stats dashboard to visualize live traffic, integrate advanced logs and alerting, optimize for high load with CPU/memory tuning, produce a final deliverable project on prod-like cases, leave with skills to boost your network performance immediately.

Our method

How Learni guarantees the quality of your HAProxy training

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
