Scalable load balancing and security on AWS with HAProxy Fusion
summary
HAProxy Fusion centralizes HAProxy Enterprise on AWS so a single load‑balancing layer handles routing, WAF, rate limiting and observability instead of many chained services. Demo traffic runs at 1.5M requests/sec on six T3xlarge EC2s and HAProxy benchmarks hit ~2M req/sec on a single Graviton instance. Fusion uses AMIs, Auto Scaling Groups, Route 53, CloudWatch, a control plane that prevents config drift, autoscaling nodes, supports service discovery and multi‑cluster routing, and even rate limiting by VPC ID via proxy protocol.
