HAProxy Edge is a fully managed application delivery and security service built on the battle-tested HAProxy core. It provides a high-performance global network designed to connect users to applications quickly and reliably. As part of the HAProxy One platform, HAProxy Edge offers robust ADN and CDN functionality, ensuring applications are delivered at hyperscale with ultra-low latency through its global points of presence (PoPs). The platform is engineered to handle massive-scale traffic, processing over 70 billion daily requests, preventing application crashes and slowdowns during peak activity. HAProxy Edge provides comprehensive, multi-layered security, including full-spectrum DDoS protection, bot management, API protection, and a next-generation WAF, stopping threats at the network edge before they reach the application. It offers fully-managed app delivery, performing static asset caching, SSL/TLS encryption, and DDoS protection at the network edge, offloading duties from App and Ops teams. The robust hosted infrastructure uses 100 gigabit interfaces with multiple terabits per second of processing capacity, ensuring peak performance. Intelligent geo-routing via Anycast and global server load balancing (GSLB) ensures clients receive content from the closest PoP, optimizing traffic flow to origin servers and datacenters. HAProxy Edge integrates with redundant servers, networking devices, and various ISPs to deliver applications quickly and reliably. Caching is performed on an SSD-only edge layer for utmost performance and low latency, with dynamic small-and-large object caching and anti-hotlinking for stronger content protection. Resource usage is improved through features such as SSL/TLS termination, compression, full end-to-end HTTP/2 support, and device detection.
