Managing API traffic at scale is challenging.
While modern applications and AI services rely on APIs, many organizations struggle to achieve the performance, efficiency, and security needed to scale freely.
Without centralized gateway solutions in place, it's much harder to manage the fluctuating traffic volumes, numerous endpoints, and overall complexity related to API-based development.
API use is surging
On average, 26 to 50 APIs power a given application.
Popular tech drives adoption
Postman saw a 73% increase in AI-driven API traffic alone, from mid-2023 to mid-2024.
API security is lagging
99% of survey respondents have a hard time containing API-related security incidents.
Centrally managed API gateways help teams master their API traffic.
Load balance, protect, and simplify your API infrastructure by consolidating services and thousands of request paths behind a single IP address.
Empower your teams to manage your multi-gateway, multi-cloud API gateway deployments via HAProxy Fusion Control Plane. HAProxy Enterprise's lightweight design delivers efficient traffic management for APIs with the security and flexibility you need.
Bringing efficiency, security, and streamlined management to APIs
Learn how HAProxy API gateway can transform performance, observability, and more for your APIs.
Customizable routing
Optimize API performance and reliability by distributing requests across a pool of servers. Make routing decisions based on URL, domain name, geolocation, device type, or source IP address. Logical operator support lets you combine routing rules.
Performance
Supercharge your APIs with advanced HTTP compression to shrink server responses, connection pooling to reduce latency, response caching, and other application acceleration features. High-performance SSL/TLS offers latency-free protection.
Security and access control
Dynamic rate limiting, HAProxy Enterprise WAF, and HAProxy Bot Management Module stop abuse, DDoS, and more — including the OWASP API Security Top 10. Implement strong encryption, authorization, and token-based access control.
Monitoring and management
Compile over 150 performance and security metrics to gain real-time insight into API activity. Push these metrics externally to Prometheus, InfluxDB, or other databases. View detailed logs to effectively troubleshoot issues or audit access.
API traffic management, your way
HAProxy brings unmatched simplicity, flexibility, reliability, and more to your APIs.
Support complex API gateway topologies living within any environment — including hybrid-cloud, multi-cloud, and on-premises. Support your API infrastructure regardless of tech stack.
HAProxy's developer-friendly API gateway — centrally managed within HAProxy Fusion and backed by HAProxy Enterprise's 20+ year development history — is both lightweight and cloud-native.
Centrally monitor, manage, configure, and secure your distributed API gateways. Support multi-instance gateway architectures to seamlessly manage all API traffic.
Deploy your API gateway at the edge to provide network-level protection — stopping DDoS attacks, abuse, and surging demand from interrupting API availability.
What are users saying about HAProxy API gateway?
"So what do we get out of this? We did reach the goal of processing billions of requests daily and, in fact, as of a couple of weeks ago, it’s over 5,000,000,000 daily/595,000 per second during peak times."
"The next-generation HAProxy Enterprise WAF protects our public APIs and user portal and makes a valuable improvement to our overall application security posture. Other on-premises solutions didn't scale well with our global scope and huge API traffic load, but the new HAProxy Enterprise WAF keeps latency and resource use low, while having a very low false positive rate."
