Reviewer scorecard
“Auto-discovers services from Docker labels or K8s ingress. Dynamic configuration without reloads is the killer feature.”
“Docker builds that take 10 minutes in CI complete in 30 seconds on Depot. The speed improvement is dramatic.”
“For Docker and K8s environments, Traefik's auto-discovery eliminates proxy configuration entirely.”
“If Docker builds are your CI bottleneck, Depot eliminates it. Drop-in replacement with massive time savings.”
“Service mesh and API gateway convergence is happening. Traefik is well-positioned at that intersection.”
“Remote build infrastructure will become standard. Local or CI builds on underpowered machines make no sense.”
