traefik
A modern HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer that automatically configures itself for microservices.
What is traefik?
Traefik is a modern HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer specifically designed for microservices architectures. It solves the problem of manually configuring routes in dynamic environments by automatically discovering services from orchestrators like Kubernetes and Docker, and generating the necessary routing rules on the fly.
DevOps engineers, SREs, and platform teams deploying and managing containerized microservices at scale, especially those using orchestrators like Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, or service meshes.
Developers choose Traefik for its automatic, dynamic configuration that eliminates the need for manual proxy updates, its native integration with cloud-native ecosystems, and its built-in features like TLS management and observability that simplify operating microservices in production.
