Haproxy

Intro

Two database design choices:

• Each server gets its own quotes and saves all its own data
  • Need to read user id from each request and send each user to a predetermined server
  • Need multiple Etrade accounts, one for each server, unless we get a deal with Etrade
• Switch to a distributed database with master-master replication
  • A lot of work
  • Might kill sub-second performance? Might not. We already have delayed-write.

For the first 1000 paid users, we will NOT do load balancing.

Instead, we will just use haproxy to redirect (bitpost.com IP) + port 8080 requests to abettertrader.com (all https).
