It provides high availability, load balancing, and best-in-class SSL processing. HAProxy One is an application delivery and security platform that combines the HAProxy core with enterprise-grade security layers, management and orchestration, cloud-native integration, and more. Platform components: HAProxy Enterprise: a flexible data plane layer for TCP, UDP, QUIC, and HTTP-based applications that provides high-performance load balancing, high availability, an API/AI gateway, container networking, SSL processing, DDoS protection, bot detection and mitigation, global rate limiting, and a web application firewall (WAF). HAProxy Fusion: a scalable control plane that provides full-lifecycle management, observability, and automation of multi-cluster, multi-cloud, and multi-team HAProxy Enterprise deployments, with infrastructure integration for AWS, Kubernetes, Consul, and Prometheus. HAProxy Edge: a globally distributed application delivery network that provides fully managed application delivery and security services, a secure partition between external traffic and origin networks, and threat intelligence enhanced by machine learning that powers the security layers in HAProxy Fusion and HAProxy Enterprise.
