Using HAProxy as an API Gateway, Part 4 [Metrics]

HAProxy publishes more than 100 metrics about the traffic flowing through it. When you use HAProxy as an API gateway, these give you insight into how clients are accessing your APIs.

You may have also heard it being called a CI/CD or DevOps pipeline.

A Day in the Life: Intelligent Observability at Work with DevOps

Thursday morning, and I’ve done some yoga, a ten-minute meditation and am at my desk in my hastily thrown up garden office with a mug of green tea by 08:30am. I’m really not missing the commute to our old HQ (now permanently closed, thanks to the pandemic) in the heart of Seattle and am enjoying an extra few minutes in bed and getting mindful before logging in.
