Konvey

Konvey is a plain simple network Layer-4 (UDP/TCP) load-balancer.

It’s only goal is to accept remote traffic and ship it back to one of the many application backend, through round-robin algorithm (with health check support).

Konvey can either be used to:

• load-balance traffic from private network to private network
• load-balance traffic from public network (i.e. Internet) to private network, in association with Kawaii. In such a scenario, Kawaii holds public IP address exposure, and route public traffic to Konvey instances, through NAT settings.

As with Kawaii, Konvey uses Kowabunga’s concept of Multi-Zone Resources (MZR) to ensure that, when the requested region features multiple availability zones, a project’s Konvey instance gets created in each zone, making it highyl resilient.
