I'm using small webapp which is hosted on openshift and that app is actually a web-serviсe. Sinse my app is scalable it is maintained by haproxy load baloancer. But I noticed that my app was hibernated after some period of time.

Why does it happen? Is haproxy able to maintaine web-service application?

as it turned out there were just terminology problems as scalable does not mean that it will not idling. thus the issue has been resolved.

    From what I understand, regardless if you say it is "scalable", that doesn't mean you won't become idle with some period of inactivity. – xkcd149 Jan 04 '16 at 21:09
  • Haproxy is a load balancer, you may benefit by googling "haproxy heartbeat" – xkcd149 Jan 04 '16 at 21:11
  • @xkcd149 you were right that scalable and idle are independent. so the best option is using a tool to ping the resource to stop the application from idling. – rozero Jan 05 '16 at 06:51

As said here "Openshift suspends and serializes apps without much activity after a given period, and the first time they 'wake' they deserialize and this takes time."
