Not on the current edition
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar

Assess
Katran is a high-performance layer 4 load balancer. It's not for everyone, but if you need redundancy for layer 7 load balancers (such as HAProxy or NGINX) or need to scale load balancers to two or more servers, then we recommend assessing Katran. We see Katran as a flexible and efficient choice over techniques such as round-robin DNS over L7 load balancers or the IPVS Kernel model that network engineers usually adopt to solve similar challenges.
