- All features of HAProxy are inherited, 100% compatible with HAProxy
- Powerful dynamic cache ability
- Based on HTTP method, URI, path, query, header, cookies, etc
- Based on HTTP request or response contents, etc
- Based on environment variables, server state, etc
- Based on SSL version, SNI, etc
- Based on connection rate, number, byte, etc
- Extremely fast
- Cache purging
- HTTPS supports on both frontend and backend
- HTTP compression
- HTTP rewriting and redirection
So what does Nuster do that HAProxy doesn’t?
nuster added cache ability to HAProxy, nuster = haproxy + cache. Also it is different from the cache feature introduced in haproxy v1.8 which has many limitations.
