HAProxy supports quite complex configurations. We've actually found that many of our users are only realizing extremely basic capabilities so we have been working on increasing our blog content to help them take advantage of some of the more complex configurations that can be done. We've even found that many users are not aware that HAProxy now supports Hitless Reloads [1].
Quite a bit of complex routing and dynamic configurations can be provided by map files [2] and these and many other settings can be updated directly from the Runtime API [3].
With that said -- we are actively working to make things even better and intend to introduce support for updating SSL certificates/keys directly through the Runtime API as well as introducing a Data Plane API for HAProxy.
We have a new release coming any day now and this will lay the foundation that will allow us to continue to provide best-in-class performance while accelerating cutting edge feature delivery.
