This topic explains how to implement the Relay Proxy. Before you begin, decide whether the Relay Proxy is appropriate for your configuration by reading Relay Proxy use cases. If you are a customer on an Enterprise plan, Relay Proxy Enterprise has additional functionality available.

Relay Proxy implementation

Before you implement the Relay Proxy, read the Relay Proxy guidelines. Here is the process for implementing the Relay Proxy:

1. Choose a deployment strategy for your use case.
2. Decide whether to configure your SDKs for proxy mode or daemon mode.
3. Plan your Relay Proxy architecture, including:
   • Whether you must use a persistent store, which is required for some kinds of segments if you are using server-side SDKs.
   • What servers to use.
   • How to manage load balancing.
4. Configure the Relay Proxy.
   • (Optional) Configure the Relay Proxy for segments, if applicable.
   • (Optional) If you’re using Relay Proxy Enterprise, set up automatic configuration or configure offline mode.
5. Deploy the Relay Proxy.
6. Configure your SDKs to use the Relay Proxy.
7. Plan for scaling.
8. Monitor the Relay Proxy’s performance over time.
9. Plan your upgrade strategy to stay ahead of end-of-life versions.
