What problem does it solve? Writing production load balancer configuration from scratch is error-prone: health checks, TLS settings, rate limiting, and canary traffic splits each have subtle failure modes that only surface under load. This Skill provides working configuration patterns for the most common load balancing platforms so you start from a correct baseline. ## Core Features & Use Cases - NGINX production config: Full nginx.conf with upstream keepalive, rate limit zones, TLS hardening, security headers, and a 90/10 canary split via split_clients. - AWS ALB with Terraform: Application Load Balancer with HTTPS listener, weighted target groups for canary deployments, health checks, access logging, and HTTP-to-HTTPS redirect. - HAProxy and Traefik: HAProxy config with active health checks, stick-table rate limiting, and WebSocket backends, plus Traefik IngressRoute with middleware chains on Kubernetes. - Use Case: You need to roll out a new API version to 10% of traffic. Copy the ALB weighted target group pattern or the NGINX split_clients block, adjust the weights, and deploy. ## Quick Start Ask Claude to generate a production NGINX load balancer config with rate limiting and a 10 percent canary upstream for your API service.
