Flexible, easy to use Load Balancer for everyone
What do you like best about the product?
Flexibility on defining configuration in various different environments. The native support for docker using label is very smart
What do you dislike about the product?
Navigating through docs to find examples is a little bit challenging because they must provide examples for every single environment (docker, kubernetes, or even file). But once you get it, it is convenient
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Homelab setup with a lot of docker compose. Native support for docker with labels as config is very fitting to my use case
Extensive proxy for all use cases!

What do you dislike about the product?
While Traefik is highly versatile and powerful, its extensive configuration options can be overwhelming for first-time users. The sheer number of settings and possibilities might make it challenging to get started, especially if you're new to the concepts of reverse proxies, load balancing, or modern cloud-native architectures. Navigating through the various configuration methods—whether via YAML files, labels in Docker, or dynamic configurations—can be complex, requiring a solid understanding of the underlying principles.
However, once you get past the initial learning curve, the flexibility and control that Traefik offers are unmatched. The comprehensive documentation helps mitigate this complexity, guiding you through the setup process and helping you understand how to tailor Traefik to your specific needs. With time and experience, you'll likely find that the initial complexity is a small price to pay for the robust and customizable infrastructure that Traefik enables.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Traefik excels at solving the problem of managing multiple ingress routes, particularly when it comes to certificate management. In environments where multiple services require secure access, handling SSL certificates can quickly become a complex and time-consuming task. Traefik streamlines this process by automating certificate management, including the generation, renewal, and deployment of SSL/TLS certificates.
Traefik simplified our infrastructure
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Traefik is its seamless integration with Docker, enabling automatic service discovery and dynamic configuration. This simplifies management and deployment in containerized environments, enhancing efficiency and scalability.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike about Traefik is its complexity when configuring non-containerized services. The setup can require significant customization and troubleshooting, which diminishes its ease of use and efficiency outside of Docker environments.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Traefik simplifies HTTPS access by automating SSL certificate management, ensuring secure connections to our services. Its dynamic service discovery and load balancing streamline deployment, enhancing security and scalability while reducing operational overhead.
Fast and reliable reverse proxy/load balancer
What do you like best about the product?
Total integration with Kubernetes and automatic service discovery, HTTP2 automatically enabled the built-in integration with Let's Encrypt with automatic renew. Clean and detailed dashboard with monitor tool. These are just some of the many features Traefik offers for free.
What do you dislike about the product?
Documentation in the early versions was very poor. In the last version, it is better but not very detailed and with few examples. The cache is available only in the PRO version.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Traefik in both Dev and Production environments, allowing us to prevent unattended bugs between the different environments.
Excellent for lightweight service discovery for docker data center and docker swarm
What do you like best about the product?
Lightweight micro-service service-discovery, support extensively for docker swarm, data center, Kubernetes.
1. Support Let's Encrypt automatic SSL certificate generation for all subdomains
2. Came along with load balancing. Also, we don't need to re-route traffic through Nginx as we do in Kubernetes if we open 80 and 443 ports
3. For all micro-services, add traefik configuration in the docker-compose file as service labels
4. Supports logging tools like jeager, prometheus, grafana
5. Cloud-native application proxy.
6. Less learning curve compared to Istio ingress
7. Excellent routing and traffic rules

What do you dislike about the product?
1. Does not support logging tools natively; needs to install and configure separately.
2. Performance is not better if service increases.
2. Performance is not better if service increases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have around five services running in docker swarm containers. Needed for lightweight service discovery, found out traefik, it solved our service meshes and enabled subdomain routing without Nginx.
Easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
Traefik is very is easy to use and lets encrypt is best feature a d middleware is a great concept.
What do you dislike about the product?
they should provide documentation how we can configure lets encrypt with L7 load balancer and they should provide option to print backend service name in logs
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It increases latency
Traefik ias Amazing Product For Containerized Environment
What do you like best about the product?
The best part is its configuration is simple and it discover backend services on dynamic way without restart.
We have deployed this Product in MCE/Multi client environment to discover backend services.

What do you dislike about the product?
It's pretty complicated to migrate from traefik 1.x to 2.x version because not any proper document available on official site.
There is not any log rotation inbuilt feature available in traefik
There is not any log rotation inbuilt feature available in traefik
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had lots of service running inside the MCE Environment. Its pretty helpful to us to achieve multiple task with single product without integrating different product for different task.
Great out-of-the-box cloud reverse proxy; config can be sticky
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Traefik solves a problem that, in the past, I had to wire up myself. Moving to a Kubernetes-based workflow for our CI/CD and production environments meant juggling ingress and TLS certificates was tricky; Traefik is a real time saver.
What do you dislike about the product?
Configuring Traefik isn't entirely intuitive, especially if you're using a key-value store. The documentation is technically correct however users without experience with Consul or etcd may get stuck on certain concepts. The configuration does not, as far as I can tell, hot-reload in all contexts so you just need to test as you go.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My clients love that they don't have to pay for TLS certificates, because Traefik integrates natively with Let's Encrypt. It also helps address questions of distributed/fault tolerant ingress in K8s.
