HAproxy or Trefik
What do you like best about the product?
I’d rate it around 8 or 9 out of 10. I would definitely recommend HAProxy for most use cases, especially where you need a high-performance, reliable load balancer.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing I find challenging about HAProxy is the learning curve, especially when dealing with more advanced configurations. The syntax is powerful, but it’s not always the most intuitive, so it can take time to get comfortable with it.
Another aspect is that compared to some newer tools, it’s less ‘plug-and-play.’ For example, solutions like Traefik or Envoy offer more native integration with dynamic environments like Kubernetes, whereas HAProxy often requires additional setup or external tooling to achieve similar flexibility.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
HAProxy is primarily solving the problem of distributing traffic efficiently and reliably across multiple backend services. In a production environment, sending all traffic to a single server creates a bottleneck and a single point of failure. HAProxy eliminates that by acting as a high-performance load balancer and reverse proxy.
Proxy Support I Love
What do you like best about the product?
Proxy is a good feature that I like about haproxy
What do you dislike about the product?
No proxy is a good feature that haproxy should include
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Connection between on prem to cloud. The integration is quite easy .
Go-to reverse Proxy
What do you like best about the product?
HAProxy works without drama, at scale with config that can be generated easily per instance it uses. It is my good to proxy of choice
What do you dislike about the product?
Won’t lie, the config can get pretty gnarly. It’s not always easy to validate and check ahead of time. Not anything that the age of AI doesn’t get past though
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
use HAProxy on EC2 to route incoming traffic to the right backend services. It solves having a single entry point and keeps things decoupled
Great Engagement

Tech solutions challenges
Love The Solution
What do you like best about the product?
The Solution for our openshift clusters works fine.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing, it is working verry well by us.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Loadbalancing of our ha ingresscpntroller in our openshift
HAProxy from an UserPerspective
What do you like best about the product?
HAProxy integrates seamlessly into OpenShift as the default ingress controller. The performance under high load is excellent, and the configuration via annotations is straightforward for routing and TLS termination.
What do you dislike about the product?
Advanced custom configurations in OpenShift require workarounds via ConfigMap patches, which can be tricky. Better native support for fine-grained timeout and header manipulation without leaving the OpenShift abstraction layer would be helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
HAProxy handles all ingress traffic routing in our OpenShift cluster, replacing the need for manual load balancing. It ensures high availability for our internal services and enables TLS termination at the edge, which simplifies certificate management across multiple applications significantly.

Load balancing made easy
Fast, rock-solid performance
What do you like best about the product?
It’s ultrafast, reliable, and highly efficient. It offers elite traffic management, flexible ACLs, advanced health checks, and massive scalability, making it the gold standard for high-load, mission-critical environments.
What do you dislike about the product?
has a steep learning curve, lacks a built-in management GUI, and depends on syslog for logging. Its UDP support is limited, and managing complex configurations can feel daunting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
HAProxy solves several critical infrastructure problems, primarily focused on availability, performance, and security.
Rock-Solid Reliability You Can Forget It’s There
