Hello,
While renewing a node.js servers and a galera cluster (mariadb) I'm
seeing an unexpected behaviour on TCP connections between node.js
application and mariadb.
There is a lot of connections resets during transfers on backend side.
My previous (working) setup was based on Debian 10, mariadb 10.5,
node.js 16 (and some dependencies) and haproxy 2.6.
I had a server running several node.js processes and a 3-node galera
mariadb cluster.
To provide some HA, I configured haproxy as a TCP proxy for mariadb
connections.
The usual setup is :
node.js -> haproxy -> mariadb
node.js application uses a connection pool to maintain several open
connections to database server that may be idle for a long time.
The timeouts are adjusted in haproxy to avoid disconnecting idle
connections.
This setup worked just fine on old servers.
Then I've setup new servers on Debian 11: a new mariadb galera cluster
(10.6), a new node.js application server (no real changes in node.js
software versions there) and haproxy (2.6.6 currently).
The global setup of all of this is quite the same as before but not
exactly the same. I tried however to be as close as possible to the old
setup.
Now, once I started the node.js application, the database connections
are established and after about 20 minutes I start to see application
warnings about lost connections to database.
On haproxy stats page I can see lot of 'connections resets during
tranfers' backend side.
On database side I can see idle processes that stay there even if I
close node.js application or restart haproxy. These have to timeout or
be killed to disappear. As if there was no communication any more
between haproxy and mariadb (on these tcp connections).
At the same moment other database connections are established or
continue to function. Maybe something related to idle connections ?
If it may help : all these servers are VMs in OVH public cloud and
communications between servers are established through a private vlan in
the same datacenter.
If I remove haproxy from workflow (node.js -> mariadb) I cannot see any
error anymore. But I don't understand why it worked fine before and is
working this way right now...
Any help is welcome.

I tried some modifications in haproxy config (nosplice or tcpka) but
errors are still there.
I also tried previous haproxy versions (2.6.5, 2.6.4) but it doesn't
solve the problem.
