Abstract

As systems demand high speed, stability, and the ability to handle large volumes of traffic, selecting an appropriate load-balancing solution becomes a critical aspect of infrastructure design. This study aims to compare the performance of two open-source load balancers, HAProxy and Zevenet, implemented on a Linux-based bare-metal web server infrastructure. The experiment was conducted using two identical backend servers and the wrk benchmarking tool, configured for five-minute tests, 1000 concurrent connections, and twelve repetitions per platform. The evaluation metrics included average latency, request throughput, and the number of timeout errors during the testing period. The results show that HAProxy achieved lower average latency (261.97 ms), higher throughput (1076.68 RPS), and fewer timeout errors (37,742) than Zevenet. While Zevenet offers a more user-friendly graphical interface, HAProxy proved more efficient and stable under high traffic. This study provides practical insights for implementing effective load balancing in non-virtualized systems with limited resources and high-performance demands.
