Node.js is having some serious issues performing under high concurrency, managing streams and delivering 'data' events correctly. So horizontal scaling seems like the best solution, to keep alive several instances of the same application.

After some research, I cannot decide yet, which would be better for a least_conn, or round robin load balancer.

If anyone has had experience using both and, keeping in mind it has to work with Node V: 0.12.0,

Which of both would be a better load balancer / TCP proxy manager in terms of reliability and performance wise?

I think the correct answer is "It depends" but i'm biased to use specialized solutions. In this case HAProxy is the specialized solution for your problem. There is even a hardware appliance based on it.
