🆚 Apache Traffic Server vs. HAProxy

Apache Traffic Server is an open-source high-performance HTTP caching proxy server that serves cached content at the network edge to reduce origin load and improve response times.

It provides an event-driven core with asynchronous native DNS for high concurrency, and supports custom plugins written in C/C++ or Lua for modifying headers, inspecting caches, handling Edge Side Includes, and implementing custom caching algorithms.

HAProxy is an open-source load balancer and reverse proxy for TCP and HTTP-based applications.

It provides multiple load-balancing algorithms, TLS/SSL termination and certificate management, Lua scripting, a runtime API, hitless reloads, and built-in metrics for Prometheus.
