<p>The main thing is not reaching for a heavy enterprise load balancer before you need it. For a fast-growing SaaS it really splits on whether you're containerized. If you are, Traefik is hard to beat early, new containers just start getting traffic on deploy with no config change, so it grows with you instead of needing constant tuning. If you're not on containers yet, HAProxy is the classic set-it-and-forget-it, free and light, and it handles a lot of growth before you ever touch it. You rarely outgrow either on raw traffic, what pushes teams past them is needing multi-region or a managed edge, and most people just put Cloudflare in front at that point rather than rearchitecting. So I'd match the tool to your stack now and add the edge layer later.</p>
