Load balancing

### High-performance traffic management at massive scale

Load balancer and reverse proxy for HTTP, TCP, UDP, and QUIC applications — with HAProxy’s legendary performance and reliability! Robust architecture, highly customizable, and runs anywhere.

Go to solution

**Cost-efficient performance**

2 million TPS on a single AWS Arm instance. Best-in-class SSL/TLS processing. Efficiency that saves you money.

**Trusted and proven**

Over 20 years of open source development. The world’s most widely used software load balancer.

**Any app, any environment**

Works with virtually any app, API, or AI service. Advanced routing options and customizable with Lua and SPOE. Run on any Linux server, cloud, container, or VM with identical performance and features.

**Load Balancing as a Service (LBaaS)**

Offload load balancer management from central Ops teams while making self-service application delivery more efficient for App teams.

**Central management**

Multi-cluster, multi-cloud, and multi-team management, observability, and automation via a central control plane.

**SaaS ADN**

Fully managed app delivery services on our global network, powered by HAProxy. For the ultimate scale and simplicity.

Web app and API protection

### Next-gen security with threat intelligence

Multi-layered security fends off threats before they can reach your application — powering your uptime while keeping your organization, data, and users safe.

Go to solution

**DDoS protection**

Maintain service availability without slowdowns, even under sustained attacks or unpredictable traffic spikes.

**Bot management and protection**

Fast and cost-efficient bot detection and enforcement, all done locally on your infrastructure.

**API/AI protection**

Authentication, filtering, rate limiting, and routing for API traffic and AI/LLM prompts ensures performance and security.

**Web application firewall**

Exceptional balanced accuracy and ultra-low latency, without relying on static lists and regex-based attack signatures.

**Central security policy**

Multi-cluster, multi-cloud, and multi-team management, security policy, WAF configuration, and observability.

**SaaS ADN**

Fully managed app security services on our global network, powered by HAProxy. For the ultimate full-spectrum protection.

High availability

### Uptime for mission-critical applications

Seamless redundancy, a resilient architecture, and proactive monitoring ensure high availability for the most demanding applications.

Go to solution

**Fault tolerant clusters**

With Active/Active or Active/Standby configuration and automatic failover, your backup load balancer will always be ready.

**Maintain network stability**

Advanced health checks monitor server health. Retry-requests and circuit-breaking route traffic around unhealthy server groups.

**Mitigate deployment risks**

Increase and drain traffic to servers during application deployments. Hitless reloads when updating HAProxy configuration.

**Resilience to attack**

Stay online, and protect your users, data, transactions, and content — even under sustained heavy attack.

**Maximize efficiency**

Timeouts, connection pooling, and traffic overload protection mean your servers are always running at their best.

**SaaS ADN**

Fully managed app delivery services on our global network, powered by HAProxy. For the ultimate reliability and capacity.

Kubernetes app routing

### Simplify Kubernetes on-premises or in the cloud

Intelligent external load balancing, multi-cluster routing, direct-to-pod load balancing, and high-performance ingress for Kubernetes applications.

Go to solution

**External load balancing**

Simplify deploying Kubernetes on-premises with fully automated external load balancing.

**Multi-cluster routing**

Enable high-performance load balancing for your Kubernetes clusters within one or many cloud regions.

**Direct-to-pod load balancing**

Consolidate Kubernetes app routing into a single layer for reduced complexity and infrastructure costs.

**Ingress control**

Kubernetes-standard traffic routing using the Ingress API, in a high-performance package.

**Service discovery**

Service discovery, dynamic config generation, and multi-cluster observability via a central control plane.

**Container images**

Easily deploy HAProxy nodes in containers with verified images on Docker Hub.
