HAProxy is not affected by the HTTP/2 Rapid Reset Attack (CVE-2023-44487)
I wanted to try it out just now but hit a roadblock immediately - it cannot automatically obtain and maintain TLS certificates. You have to use an external client (e.g. acme.sh), set up a cron to check/renew them, and poke HAProxy to reload them if necessary. I'm way past doing this in 2023.

Why Haproxy is not build with PROMEX by default (Linux / BSD)
For context I think this might be useful: https://github.com/haproxy/haproxy/blob/master/addons/promex/README

minexmr2.com updated to p2pool v3.1, monerod v0.18.2.0, and ready for Mar 18 p2pool (not monero) hardfork
I turn on 1 relatively cheap cloud server to process DNS, https and stratum connections and route them via haproxy to one of N miner servers described above.

HAProxy Security Update (CVE-2023-25725) - HTTP content smuggling attack
Full technical writeup here: https://github.com/haproxy/haproxy/commit/a8598a2eb11b6c989e81f0dbf10be361782e8d32
- Request smuggling in HAProxy via empty header name
- Enormous session rate
- Update to haproxy 2.4.18 breaks WebDAV

HAProxy 2.7
With the recent discussions about memory safe languages, HAProxy is still surprisingly written in C [0].

35M Hot Dogs: Benchmarking Caddy vs. Nginx
It does not, because HAProxy does not perform any disk access at runtime and thus would be unable to persist the certificates anywhere. Disks accesses can be unpredictably slow and would block the entire thread which is not something you want when handling hundreds of thousands of requests per second.
See this issue and especially the comment from Lukas Tribus: https://github.com/haproxy/haproxy/issues/1864

What happens if you put HTTP server inside Postgres?
In the past weeks, I've taken the task of adding an embedded HTTP server to Omnigres. Since Omnigres is implemented in C , it was only natural for me to choose libh2o to implement the functionality of an HTTP server. It did help that H2O is known for its good performance characteristics.

35M Hot Dogs: Benchmarking Caddy vs. Nginx
h2o [1] was excellent when I tried it for TLS termination. And it got http/2 priorities right. It's a shame they don't make regular releases.

C++ (or C, I guess) application server that's QUIC/HTTP3 ready?
libh2o is probably your friend https://github.com/h2o/h2o

Damn callbacks
Also make sure you hydrate your server properly as well.
