## What it is
HAProxy Ingress is a Kubernetes ingress controller that configures an embedded HAProxy load balancer to route external traffic to in-cluster applications. It reads Ingress and Gateway API resources from the cluster and applies routing updates on the fly, with 200+ configuration options.

## Use cases
- expose kubernetes services to external traffic with haproxy
- kubernetes ingress controller using haproxy load balancer
- route http traffic to pods in a k8s cluster
- replace nginx ingress with haproxy-based controller
- configure gateway api routing in kubernetes
- zero-downtime routing updates for cluster services

## When to choose
- you want HAProxy's performance and reliability as your Kubernetes edge
- you need fine-grained, per-service ingress configuration with 200+ options
- you want support for both Ingress and Gateway API resources
- you already run HAProxy and want native Kubernetes integration

## When to avoid
- you prefer an ingress controller backed by nginx or envoy ecosystems
- you need a simple load balancer outside Kubernetes
- you require an alpha-version feature set in production without testing
