GitHub has introduced the GitHub Load Balancer (GLB), a system designed to manage the substantial scale of services run on GitHub.com by addressing the challenges associated with using HAProxy at scale. Previously, a single HAProxy instance managed all public services, resulting in a complex and lengthy configuration that was difficult to maintain. To improve this, GitHub developed a solution called multibinder, which enables the running of multiple isolated load balancer instances on a single machine, allowing for individual HAProxy configurations to be updated without downtime. Multibinder facilitates zero-downtime and zero-delay reloads by using shared LISTEN sockets, overcoming limitations in HAProxy's architecture without requiring architectural changes to HAProxy itself. This approach involves a parent process maintaining an open socket for new processes to inherit, ensuring seamless transitions during service reloads. The system is designed to work generically with any daemon requiring zero-downtime reload capabilities, and GitHub has provided examples for running multiple HAProxy instances using this method alongside systemd service templates.
