Kubernetes and Consul service discovery with real-time updates
Keep pace with rapidly changing Kubernetes and Consul environments with HAProxy’s high-performance service discovery, built to automate your load balancing and application routing.
Your infrastructure moves faster than you can keep up
Modern applications run on ephemeral pods and distributed clusters. Manual load balancer updates create configuration drift, eroding the resilience your business depends on and causing failed requests and revenue-impacting outages.
Static configuration creates business risk
When services scale or relocate, static configurations don't change. This mismatch causes service disruptions while operations teams work to update configurations—turning infrastructure agility into a management burden.
Multi-cluster and multi-cloud complexity slows growth
Hybrid deployments across regions and cloud providers make it difficult to maintain consistent service discovery policies. Manual updates create delays and errors, leading to downtime, lost opportunities, and operational overhead.
Resilience is key
35% of Kubernetes experts face resilience challenges when building, deploying, and managing cloud native applications.
Reduced overhead is crucial
42% of enterprises struggle with the costs of their Kubernetes environments and managing them.
Simplicity is mandatory
77% of enterprises operate in hybrid environments and need orchestration tools that span on-prem and multi-cloud.
Automated service discovery and load balancer configuration
Your load balancing layer stays synchronized with your dynamic infrastructure, simplifying the addition of new services and instantly routing traffic as services scale, migrate, or restart. Automate external load balancing, multi-cluster routing, API management, and more.
Easy integration with providers
Works natively with Kubernetes API and Consul catalog, connecting directly to their APIs to detect services and update load balancer configuration in real time. No middleware or manual intervention required.
Zero-touch configuration templates
Automatically generate backend configurations, so your load balancers are ready to route traffic without manual intervention.
Intelligent service filtering
Use Kubernetes labels and Consul tags to precisely control which services are load balanced.
Unified observability and control
Monitor all discovered services through HAProxy Fusion's centralized dashboard. Get consistent insight and management across multiple HAProxy Enterprise instances and environments.
Predictable resource naming
Automatically configure routing even when you don’t know service names ahead of time.
Developer empowerment
Developers can deploy and test new applications without waiting for manual load balancer changes. Routes are created automatically, boosting innovation velocity across teams.

What are people saying about HAProxy service discovery?
"Kubernetes service discovery is also important to us, so we interviewed top vendors. Of course, HAProxy was on that list, and we did demonstrations, interviews, and such. HAProxy came out on top, particularly with the top-notch support model, which we would come to appreciate as we worked out our infrastructure implementation."
"We use HAProxy to load balance and stabilize on-premises and cloud environments…and Kubernetes-based applications. We’ve enjoyed the [feature] set of [HAProxy Fusion Control Plane] and all that it has to offer, gaining valuable insights into our application requests, front-end, and back-end statistics, and usage data."
