Traefik is a cloud-native reverse proxy with automatic service discovery for Docker, Kubernetes, and more. Dynamic configuration without restart.
Reviewer scorecard
“Automatic HTTPS and the Caddyfile syntax make web server config trivial. Reverse proxy setup is one line.”
“Auto-discovers services from Docker labels or K8s ingress. Dynamic configuration without reloads is the killer feature.”
“Automatic HTTPS alone justifies switching from Nginx. The Caddyfile is infinitely more readable than nginx.conf.”
“For Docker and K8s environments, Traefik's auto-discovery eliminates proxy configuration entirely.”
“Caddy proves that web servers can be simple. Automatic HTTPS should have always been the default.”
“Service mesh and API gateway convergence is happening. Traefik is well-positioned at that intersection.”
