As long as you don't have too many microservices... the polling and templating doesn't scale too well.

This is related to https://github.com/hashicorp/consul-template/issues/165#issu... although that is even more extreme.

Well it depends on how you implement it. I wouldn't imagine that each microservice has it's own haproxy-consul-template router. If it did, then sure, you're going to swamp it.

Maybe I'm not understanding the situation correctly, and granted, I've not ran it on a cluster of more than 5 machines with more than 10 microservices as we decided to use Rancher instead.
