An AI firewall works differently, using machine-learning models trained on live traffic to catch threats that have never been seen before, without waiting for a rule update. HAProxy Enterprise WAF, powered by the Intelligent WAF Engine, brings that detection to the edge with ultra-low latency and virtually zero false positives.

You can scale your infrastructure but you can't scale the hours in your day.

Running HAProxy at scale eventually means more to watch, more to configure, and more to secure than any one team has hours for, and HAProxy Enterprise hands some of those hours back to you.

You can't control what you can't see. And in a growing fleet of clusters and clouds, blind spots are where downtime and misconfiguration quietly take root.

HAProxy Fusion Control Plane closes that gap with a single, self-hosted control plane for your HAProxy Enterprise instances.

One control plane, full visibility, and the confidence that comes with actually seeing what you're managing.

For infrastructure teams, data sovereignty is an operational question. Where does data need to live, how do regions process it, and how do different policies affect it? HAProxy One solves data sovereignty compliance by combining the capabilities of HAProxy Enterprise, HAProxy Fusion, and HAProxy Edge, ensuring organizations host data exactly where it needs to live.

Multi-cloud is supposed to mean freedom from any single vendor. In practice, it means rebuilding the same access pattern for every provider added instead.

HAProxy One runs the same data plane and control plane across AWS, Azure, GCP, and beyond, with one license that travels with your deployment. PayPal used it to solve exactly this problem without reinventing anything per cloud.

What started as a standalone reverse proxy in 2001 has grown into a fully programmable application delivery and security platform, trusted by some of the most demanding organizations in the world.

The infrastructure decisions that made sense five years ago aren't aging well.

Costs are harder to justify. Vendor trust has eroded. And architectural constraints are limiting how fast teams can move.

Partners like PayPal, LinkedIn, and Dartmouth didn't wait for it to become a crisis. They made a deliberate decision to regain control and built on HAProxy to do it.

If your team is at that same inflection point, @jakubsuchy and Ron Northcutt are running a live office hours session for exactly that conversation.

Ever since @WillyTarreau wrote the first HAProxy code in 2001, the established philosophy and principles of HAProxy have never changed: performance, reliability, and flexibility must be balanced.

After 25+ years without a rip-and-replace moment, HAProxy's gradual, community-driven evolution from standalone proxy to fully programmable application delivery platform is a blueprint worth understanding.
