What do you like best about the product?

Traefik stands out for its simplicity and powerful features. The use of routers, middleware, and services makes managing applications straightforward. One of the biggest advantages is the seamless integration of HTTPS with real signed certificates, which simplifies the security aspect across multiple applications. What I love most about Traefik is its dynamic discovery of new services. Whether using Docker, files, or other methods, just adding a new file or creating a container with the right labels automatically configures the router/service. This flexibility and speed in service management are unparalleled.

What do you dislike about the product?

The learning curve can be challenging for newcomers. It’s not difficult to reach a point where you feel comfortable, but until you do, it might feel overwhelming. However, once you get the hang of it, Traefik’s benefits far outweigh this initial hurdle.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Traefik solves the problem of efficiently managing and routing traffic to multiple services in a dynamic environment. It simplifies the process of setting up and maintaining secure, well-organized application gateways, especially in environments where services are constantly changing, such as with Docker containers.

For me, Traefik’s ability to dynamically discover and configure new services is a game-changer. It eliminates the need for manual configuration every time a new service is added, which not only saves time but also reduces the risk of configuration errors. Additionally, its built-in support for HTTPS with real signed certificates ensures that all my applications are secure without extra hassle.
