About the HAProxy

HAProxy (High Availability Proxy) is a free, open-source software solution that provides a high-availability load balancer and reverse proxy for TCP and HTTP-based applications. Written in C, it is renowned for its speed, efficiency (low processor and memory usage), and robust performance, making it ideal for high-traffic websites and applications that require low latency and high availability. HAProxy distributes incoming network traffic across multiple backend servers, ensuring optimal resource utilization, maximizing throughput, and preventing overload of any single server. Its extensive feature set includes SSL/TLS termination, health checks, detailed logging, HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 support, URL rewriting, rate limiting, and sophisticated content-based routing rules. HAProxy is widely used by many high-profile websites and is a de-facto standard open-source load balancer, often deployed in cloud platforms and shipped with most mainstream Linux distributions. HAProxy Technologies provides commercial versions (HAProxy Enterprise) with added features, expert support, and professional services.
