Currently in today's deployments, people who use haproxy have to put it on a separate machine in front of the application. With this move though, we will be able to merge haproxy directly into our code, so everyone can benefit from haproxy's performance without the need for extra hardware. Really looking forward to this, good luck! Regards, Matthew
