Magento + Haproxy + Litespeed

[Sheba]

Greetings,

I am new to both Haproxy and Litespeed (have Site Owner Plus Lite Mage Starter + LSCache license).  

Is it true that load balancers are useful ONLY if one is using multiple servers?  

Meaning there is no point having a load balancer using ONE server.

Server has 2 sites.  One website uses Magento 2.4 with a 2-million record database accessed by thousands of people all over the world.  This is why I thought a load balancer is needed.

What should the Haproxy configuration be with LiteSpeed? 

Can't afford Litespeed Web ADC at the moment.

I appreciate ALL feedbacks.  Thanks.

HAProxy is a load balancer software. 

A load balancer as its name suggest is to balance the load of the website by sending incoming traffic to multiple servers. 

It has almost no purpose at all in a single server environment.
