HAProxy Technologies Advances Cloud-Native Application

SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America – HAProxy Technologies, creators of HAProxy One application delivery and security platform and maintainers of the HAProxy open source load balancer, brings over 25 years of experience in delivering scalable, secure application delivery across containerized, cloud, and on-premises environments. Its platform is used by global enterprises, startups, and leading cloud providers to support modern applications, APIs, and AI services.

"HAProxy's upgrade to Platinum membership reflects how central application delivery and security have become to the cloud native stack," said Jonathan Bryce, executive director, CNCF. "Their continued work on Kubernetes networking, Ingress, Gateway API, and control plane / data plane tooling strengthens projects the whole community depends on, and brings deep experience supporting large-scale, mission-critical applications."

Platinum membership places HAProxy Technologies on the CNCF Governing Board and expands its role in shaping the foundation's technical direction. As a Platinum Member, the company aims to deepen collaboration with other contributors and further strengthen the open-source ecosystem by advancing the performance, reliability, and security of Kubernetes networking.

"HAProxy has been open source since 2001, and that provides the peer-reviewed, battle-tested core of our enterprise platform, HAProxy One," said Tim Bertrand, President of HAProxy Technologies. "Our goal is to give teams the power and flexibility to manage their traffic their way, from massive sovereign AI factories to small home labs where the accessibility of open-source can make a huge difference. With Platinum membership, we will continue to promote these values that have been at the heart of HAProxy and our community for a quarter century."

HAProxy Technologies actively maintains several open source projects, including the HAProxy Data Plane API, HAProxy Kubernetes Ingress Controller, and HAProxy Unified Gateway, in addition to its widely adopted load balancer. The company regularly supports grassroots events such as Kubernetes Community Days and Cloud Native London.

HAProxy One, the enterprise platform built on the HAProxy core, supports high-performance traffic management including external load balancing, multi-cluster routing, and direct-to-pod delivery, while controlling Ingress and Gateway API resources within Kubernetes clusters. The platform delivers support for Layer 4 and Layer 7 traffic, along with integrated DDoS protection and rate limiting, bot management, and web application firewall (WAF). Operators can manage the platform using a central control plane called HAProxy Fusion.
