Hi list, We have a few usages of SPOE, mainly: * HTTP traffic mirroring. It's being discussed on GH, more details here: https://github.com/haproxy/haproxy/issues/2471#issuecomment-2007261494 * authentication (because we used to have 2 auth methods and it helped developing one backend to handle them both). I guess if one provide pure SSO/OAuth2/OIDC it can be handled natively nowadays with all the converters that have been added (also seen that multiple official blogposts have been published on the topic).
We also envisaged SPOE to offload some heavy filtering workload, especially to separate the ownership of components (one spoa could have been owned and deployed by <the-specific-team>). As long as there's a sort of equivalent of SPOE in the long-run, we're not shocked that this comes to be deprecated. -- Pierre
