HAProxy

HAProxy is an open-source software that helps manage and distribute internet traffic across multiple servers, ensuring websites and applications remain fast, reliable, and available. Think of it as a traffic cop for data, directing requests efficiently to prevent overloads and downtime. It balances the load, handles high volumes of users, and can improve security by filtering malicious activity. Used by many high-traffic websites, HAProxy ensures users experience seamless access even during peak times by intelligently managing how data is routed behind the scenes.
