How HAProxy built its modern application delivery architecture

Let’s be real: building reliable tech products is hard. Modernizing that same tech without compromising the user experience is even harder. The "rip and replace" approach to modernization can severely disrupt your customers’ integration efforts and workflows. When it doesn’t work, reversing course might be the least-worst option. By contrast, the evolution of the HAProxy One application delivery platform architecture at HAProxy Technologies over 25 years has been gradual and consistent.

Rethinking BYOD security: protecting data without trusting devices

BYOD (bring your own device) has always looked better on paper than it does in real life. The promise is clear: let people use the gadgets they already own. Less friction, lower costs, and more freedom. But when security and privacy are non-negotiable, the conversation around BYOD usually ends quickly. Not because BYOD is a bad idea, but because the model behind it doesn’t quite work. With BYOD, you’d be trying to secure something that isn’t meant to be trusted.

Getting started with Codex and CircleCI

Codex is OpenAI’s coding agent, powered by the GPT-5 family of models. It reads your files, proposes edits, and runs commands directly in your local environment. It ships as both a desktop app and an open source CLI, and it extends through plugins that connect it to external tools and services. Like any AI coding tool, Codex is strongest when the code it generates gets validated automatically.

A customer pings support: "I tried to check out twice this morning and got a 500 each time, but it works fine for everyone else." The session ID is in the email. You have full request/response capture in your environment, you have Datadog Synthetics already running browser checks against the same flow, and you still spend the next two hours grepping logs because none of those tools let you say "show me just this user's requests, in order, and re-run them."

Dashboard Playlists: Cycle Through Dashboards in TV Mode

When we shipped TV mode, we heard almost immediately: “Great, but I have five dashboards and one screen.” A single dashboard on a wall display covers one view of your infrastructure. If you want to rotate between your network overview, database health, application metrics, and infrastructure summary, someone has to walk over and click, or you’re buying more screens. Dashboard playlists solve this.
