An in-depth look at the recent audit by Almond ITSEF, validating HAProxy’s architectural resilience and defining the shared responsibility of secure configuration. Trust is the currency of the modern web. When you are the engine behind the world’s most demanding applications, "trust" isn't a marketing slogan—it’s an engineering requirement.

History is everywhere at Dartmouth College, and while the campus is steeped in tradition, its IT infrastructure can’t afford to get stuck in the past. In an institution where world-class research and undergraduate studies intersect, technology must be fast, invisible, and – above all – reliable. That reliability was put to the test when Dartmouth’s load balancing vendor was acquired twice in five years, as Avi Networks moved to VMware and VMware moved to Broadcom.

OpenClaw (née MoltBot, née ClawdBot) is taking over the world. Everyone is spinning their own, either on a VPS, or their own Mac mini. But here's the problem: OpenClaw is brand new, and its security posture is mostly unknown. Security researchers have already found thousands of publicly available instances exposing everything from credentials to private messages.

The hardest part of modern infrastructure isn’t choosing your deployment environments — it’s bridging communication between them. Large enterprises are constantly facing the challenge of keeping everything connected, secure, and fast when their infrastructures are spread across different clouds and on-premises systems.

We’re excited to announce the simultaneous releases of HAProxy Kubernetes Ingress Controller 3.2 and HAProxy Enterprise Kubernetes Ingress Controller 3.2!

Visit our documentation to view the full release notes.

Connecting nearly a billion professionals is no small feat. It requires an infrastructure that puts the user experience above everything else. At LinkedIn, this principle created a massive engineering challenge: delivering a fast, consistent experience across various use cases, from the social feed to real-time messaging and enterprise tools.

The timing couldn’t have been better. Last week, the tech world descended on Las Vegas for AWS re:Invent. It was the perfect venue to talk about cloud infrastructure, scale, and the future of application delivery. While we enjoyed talking shop at our booth, we didn't just bring swag and demos; we brought a significant performance improvement for our open-source community.

HTTP/1.1 is a text-based protocol where the message framing is mixed with its semantics, making it easy to parse incorrectly. The boundaries between messages are very weak because there is no clear delimiter between them. Thus, HTTP/1.1 parsers are especially vulnerable to request smuggling attacks.
