What is HAProxy Kubernetes Ingress Controller?

Fourteen patches into 3.2, and ssl-passthrough is still where the bugs are.

The controller is deep in the 3.2 patch line, shipping roughly every two weeks with no new configuration surface since the series opened. Four of the last six releases touch ssl-passthrough: resolving its mode before rules are built, reconciling its backends, and now keeping allow and deny lists attached to the https frontend. The rest is Kubernetes-object correctness — EndpointSlice handling, ingress merge ordering, duplicated backend config snippets.

What is ToolJet?

ToolJet ships AI Builder release 4 to its LTS line, with Gemini 4 Argon support.

ToolJet's LTS v3.20.250 brings AI Builder release 4 into the enterprise edition, with cancellation handling and Gemini 4 Argon as a model option; v3.20.248 added workspace MCP OAuth with SSO login. The beta line spent the week on Node 22.23.4 for the October security release, file-permission and license-check fixes, a page-panel crash fix, and an environment flag that limits ToolJet Database edits to admins.

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

H5.0

Fourteen patches into 3.2, and ssl-passthrough is still where the bugs are.

◆ Current state

The controller is deep in the 3.2 patch line, shipping roughly every two weeks with no new configuration surface since the series opened. Four of the last six releases touch ssl-passthrough: resolving its mode before rules are built, reconciling its backends, and now keeping allow and deny lists attached to the https frontend. The rest is Kubernetes-object correctness — EndpointSlice handling, ingress merge ordering, duplicated backend config snippets.

◆ Where it's heading

This is a stabilisation series, not a feature series. The recurring theme is that ssl-passthrough interacts badly with everything layered on top of it — access control, backend reconciliation, rule generation — and each release fixes one more intersection. Test coverage is now landing alongside the fixes rather than after them, which suggests the maintainers are treating the passthrough path as a known weak spot rather than a series of unrelated bugs.

◆ Prediction

Expect 3.2.x to continue at a two-week cadence with further ssl-passthrough intersections, and expect any new capability to wait for a 3.3 line rather than arrive in a patch.

5.0

ToolJet ships AI Builder release 4 to its LTS line, with Gemini 4 Argon support.

◆ Current state

ToolJet's LTS v3.20.250 brings AI Builder release 4 into the enterprise edition, with cancellation handling and Gemini 4 Argon as a model option; v3.20.248 added workspace MCP OAuth with SSO login. The beta line spent the week on Node 22.23.4 for the October security release, file-permission and license-check fixes, a page-panel crash fix, and an environment flag that limits ToolJet Database edits to admins.

◆ Where it's heading

The AI Builder work that sat in beta is now reaching LTS customers, alongside MCP connections that respect SSO. Most other changes on both lines are security bumps and hardening, which fits a product selling to enterprises that run the LTS track.

◆ Prediction

Expect AI Builder to keep adding models and EE controls on LTS, and more admin-level permission flags like the database-edit restriction.
