39: <p>
40: OpenBSD has a solid reputation for security and stability.
41: It's well known for the OpenSMTPd mail server, the LibreSSL cryptography
42: library, and the PF packet filter. But nobody ever talks about the load
43: balancer, or the web server.
44: <p>
45: Until now.
46: <p>
47: The httpd web server provides a fast, stable, secure environment for your
48: web applications. The relayd load balancer lets you distribute Internet
49: application load across multiple hosts. Between the two, you can slash
50: hundreds of thousands of dollars off the cost of building, deploying,
51: and managing applications.
