What is HAProxy Kubernetes Ingress Controller?

Nineteen patches into 3.2, HAProxy's ingress controller is mostly bumping dependencies

The controller remains on the 3.2 patch line. Since v3.2.14 the only release of substance is v3.2.15, which stopped filtering ingresses on IngressClass name at ingestion, reworked status publishing and moved to Go 1.27. Later patches are mainly dependency and tooling updates, with v3.2.18 keeping every TLS secret of an ingress on the same host and v3.2.19 fixing a data race on the reload flag.

What is Mergify?

Mergify's merge queue now hunts the breaking PR by rerunning failed tests first

Mergify shipped more than a dozen changes in the last week of October. On the merge queue, failed batches now run the failing tests first in each split, stacked PRs enter the queue together, scope capacities work with Bazel, Pants and Turborepo scopes and patterns, and batch merge commits name the PRs they land. Test Engine gained Minitest, Jest and Mocha plugins and a setup path driven by a coding agent. Jinja2 expressions in configuration stopped being evaluated on October 31.

HAProxy Kubernetes Ingress Controller vs Mergify: editorial side-by-side

H5.0

Nineteen patches into 3.2, HAProxy's ingress controller is mostly bumping dependencies

◆ Current state

The controller remains on the 3.2 patch line. Since v3.2.14 the only release of substance is v3.2.15, which stopped filtering ingresses on IngressClass name at ingestion, reworked status publishing and moved to Go 1.27. Later patches are mainly dependency and tooling updates, with v3.2.18 keeping every TLS secret of an ingress on the same host and v3.2.19 fixing a data race on the reload flag.

◆ Where it's heading

The ssl-passthrough theme has faded, and the series is now closer to routine upkeep than stabilization. Fixes have moved to ingress class handling, TLS secret storage and concurrency, with test coverage arriving in the same changes. Patches keep coming, but no new configuration surface has appeared on this line in the entries shown, apart from amending the SSL frontend through a custom resource in v3.2.15.

◆ Prediction

Expect further patches dominated by go.mod and Kubernetes client updates, with new capability waiting for a later line.

Mergify's merge queue now hunts the breaking PR by rerunning failed tests first

◆ Current state

Mergify shipped more than a dozen changes in the last week of October. On the merge queue, failed batches now run the failing tests first in each split, stacked PRs enter the queue together, scope capacities work with Bazel, Pants and Turborepo scopes and patterns, and batch merge commits name the PRs they land. Test Engine gained Minitest, Jest and Mocha plugins and a setup path driven by a coding agent. Jinja2 expressions in configuration stopped being evaluated on October 31.

◆ Where it's heading

Mergify is tying its merge queue to test data: Test Engine knows which tests fail, and the queue uses that to bisect faster with less CI. Monorepo build tools and stacked PRs are now first-class queue inputs.

◆ Prediction

More queue behavior driven by Test Engine results is likely, given that Fail First and the new test plugins shipped the same week.
