Fly vs HAProxy: What are the differences?
Developers describe Fly as "A global load balancer with middleware". Deploy apps through our global load balancer with minimal shenanigans. All Fly-enabled applications get free SSL certificates, accept traffic through our global network of datacenters, and encrypt all traffic from visitors through to application servers. On the other hand, HAProxy is detailed as "The Reliable, High Performance TCP/HTTP Load Balancer". HAProxy (High Availability Proxy) is a free, very fast and reliable solution offering high availability, load balancing, and proxying for TCP and HTTP-based applications.
Fly and HAProxy belong to "Load Balancer / Reverse Proxy" category of the tech stack.
