# Is HAProxy just a load balancer, or is it a full platform these days?

I've mostly known HAProxy as a load balancer, but its capabilities seem to have expanded. I'm trying to
understand what the broader platform includes today and which use cases it can support beyond traffic distribution.

Load balancing is the core, but HAProxy One is a full application delivery and security platform. Alongside high-performance load balancing, it provides an API and AI gateway, Kubernetes routing, SSL/TLS processing, and multi-layered security, all managed from one control plane. That breadth shows up in HAProxy's G2 standing: it's a Leader in categories from WAF and DDoS Protection to Container Networking and API Management. Teams consolidate onto it for performance and reliability at scale. HAProxy handles millions of requests per second at low latency on a single instance, and holds a perfect 100 satisfaction score in Load Balancing that no other product in the category matches.
