HAProxy Technologies

After more than 25 years in tech, Kelsey Hightower reached a conclusion: the people who understand the fundamentals are the most creative, the most resilient, and the hardest to replace. We distilled Kelsey's #HAProxyConf talk into 7 insights worth keeping: https://hubs.ly/Q049xFBD0

NIS2 and DORA are in effect. For EU organizations, that means cybersecurity is now a legal obligation with fines up to €10 million or 2% of global turnover. Compliance is now both a legal and technical challenge. Our blog breaks down what NIS2 and DORA actually require at the technical layer and how HAProxy Enterprise helps engineering and security teams meet those expectations as part of the infrastructure they already run.

Most teams don't have a security problem. They have a visibility problem. HAProxy Fusion 2.0 was built for exactly that: one control plane, complete visibility, and automated defenses that respond to threats in real time across your entire fleet, without slowing anything down. Tomorrow, on March 31 at 5 PM CET (11 AM EST), Jakub Suchy and Ron Northcutt will show you: a new Security Control Plane that turns live signals into instant automated responses, ML-driven WAF and bot management, and 100% API coverage for teams that need to move fast at scale. If you're managing infrastructure at scale and security visibility is still a manual process, this is the hour that changes that. Register here: https://lnkd.in/dXt5xjh7

Kelsey Hightower once bet his job on a 25-line config file. He won. Not because he got lucky, but because he understood the fundamentals of the problem better than anyone else in the room. His talk at #HAProxyConf 2025 goes well beyond tech. It's a philosophy you can apply to almost anything. Read Kelsey's key insights that made the entire room stop and think: https://lnkd.in/d_3pk4uM

#KubeCon Europe 2026 is a wrap! 🏁 This was one of the most successful conferences we've been part of, and it showed. Huge crowds, superb atmosphere, and a very engaged community! The discussions around HAProxy One, Universal Mesh, and what comes next after Ingress NGINX EOL were exactly the kind we come to KubeCon for: honest, technical, and full of real problems worth solving together. Thank you to everyone who stopped by, asked hard questions, sat through live demos, and talked through their infrastructure challenges with us. Those conversations are exactly why we show up. And to the HAProxy team on the ground this week — thank you, you were brilliant! It takes real effort to bring this kind of event to life and you made it look easy. Until the next one! 👋

Leaving Amsterdam and #KubeCon absolutely energized. I've been doing this long enough to know when a conference hits differently. This one did. The booth was busy from the first hour to the last. But more importantly, the quality of the conversations was exceptional. These weren't casual walk-bys. People came prepared, with real questions and real problems. The Ingress NGINX EOL has clearly lit a fire. Teams are moving fast and they want a path forward they can trust in production. The conversations around HAProxy Unified Gateway and Universal Mesh reflected exactly that urgency. You can study market trends from a boardroom, but when engineers are asking about your architecture at that level of depth, on a conference floor, in real time... That tells you all you need to know. We're on our way home with a clearer picture of where the pain is and where we need to push harder. That's the whole point of showing up. Thank you to everyone who stopped by and spent time with us. Those conversations are what make these trips worth it, and what keep us honest. To the HAProxy Technologies team on the ground this week — you were outstanding. The expertise and passion you brought to every single interaction all week long is what sets us apart. I'm proud of you! If we didn't get a chance to connect or you want to continue the conversation, my DMs are open. Otherwise, I'll see you at the next one.
