Great way to reverse proxy multiple applications on your servers.
What do you like best about the product?
Once things are setup and configured it's super easy to add or modify services especially if they are running as docker containers. A few strings of text including your entry point (subdomain) and any middleware's (authentication, etc) and you are good to go.
What do you dislike about the product?
The initial setup can be complex if you don't have much experience with containerization, your use case is atypical, or you can't find an online guide or instructions to help guide you.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being a small company with multiple services and applications running on a single server Traefik helps proxy them so that everything can be accessible, protected behind SSO and 2FA, and easy to get to using your domain.

Traefik Enterprise platform aids with Service Mesh Interface (SMI) for traffic policy on K8 clusters
What do you like best about the product?
Traefik Enterprise helps us route traffic to our applications, ensuring that our customer-sensitive data only runs in a secured environment. It keeps all malicious attacks from external traffic away from our data plane with its extensive security layer. All request calls & other transactions between cluster nodes are carried out through a splendid encrypted communication channel.
What do you dislike about the product?
Only one, the learning curve is steep. We have recently started to use the Traefik Enterprise platform to regulate our cluster traffic & keep our deployments highly available, auto-scalable and secured. With adequate time and exposure, we will be able to optimize traffic management & smooth operations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
By typing a few command lines, we can deploy K8 clusters having several nodes using the Traefik Enterprise platform. It gives us exceptional visibility on our entry points, cluster inspection, error reports and service mesh status in its central Dashboard. All traffic policies & telemetries, such as service latency & error rates, are managed by its Service Mesh Interface (SMI). We can also include multiple Custom Resource Definitions (CRD) for our K8 clusters for better operability & convenience through the Traefik platform.
Traefik goes DEEP
What do you like best about the product?
Extremely versatile and powerful application.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can be overwhelming, especially for someone new to proxies.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Traefik serves as a vital part of our workflow in the video transcoding business. It allows us to proxy incoming requests and gathers useful logs which can be displayed on Grafana.
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.
Some feedback after long term use from traefik 1.7 till 2.5.*
What do you like best about the product?
When I started using traefik it`s initial work in the wrong way as I expected, but it`s was 1st expirience. AND IT WORK !!!! Late I got mo experience, and it started working even better than I could imagine. The only problem was when I had to migrate from 1.7 to v2. Of course, Trafik prepares migration solutions, etc., and it`s been a hard time. What about current: It's AWESOME! USE IT! IT'S the BEST SOLUTION TODAY !!!!
What do you dislike about the product?
Litle complicated documentation. Will be nice to have complete examples
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Auto publishing services to the internet
Automatic reverse proxy configuration for containers
What do you like best about the product?
With traefik we can keep the routing config in version control since it is attached to the service labels on the service container. We can keep the container and proxy settings in the same place so the service and be deployed and updated faster.
What do you dislike about the product?
It needs some templating system to avoid repeating config lines that are the same in many of our services.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easily keep track of hundreds of proxy settings and keep them in sync with the associated containers. When a service reaches EOL and is removed, then traefik settings are removed too since they are attached to the service labels of the container.
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.
Cloud native routing done
What do you like best about the product?
I've had the joy of setting up traefik as reverse proxy for prometheus and grafana.
It's a great piece of software, written in Golang and open source. Let me explain what it makes so unique compared to Nginx/Apache/Haproxy.
traefik provides different way for configuration. You can feed it with YAML, JSON or TOML. There is no custom format, like in Nginx.
If you ever wrote a custom Ansible module for Nginx you know what I mean... with Traefik you can just pipe the YAML 1 to 1 to the traefik configuration. For configuration purposes Traefik provides an API and a nice dashboard, which helps for debugging. Traefik also provides natively prometheus metrics (something that nginx or apache do not) and I think that the router/middleware/service concept is pretty unique. Right now I am testing it in Kubernetes Environment and I am convinced so far, that I am going to use it as Ingress.

What do you dislike about the product?
While working on my reverse proxy setup for prometheus and grafana with traefik I had some difficulties with error debugging and the correct config file format. The configuration can be either in YAML, TOML or JSON and provides different elements like routers, middlewares and services. This concept is new for somebody who comes from the Nginx/Apache world and it might be difficult to fully understand it. During my setup I encountered a few situations, where I had the feeling that the debugging/logging output is not mature enough. I would like to have more verbose debugging. I am used to nginx, nginx can specify the exact error why something is not working. With traefik, however, this is far more difficult. Sometimes it's not clear why the middleware or why the service is not catching up the specific router. I wish there would be an explanation for the debugging output and maybe an in-depth guide for debugging and traefik troubleshooting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've used Traefik as reverse proxy for Grafana and Prometheus. I've realized that the configuration is far shorter, but equal verbose as for Nginx. It also has sane TLS defaults, that is a big bonus!
The only Reverse Proxy that should be in your Toolbox
What do you like best about the product?
Easy, feature-rich, and one tool which solves multiple customer use-cases. We really like the fact of how easy it is to deploy Traefik and get up and running with load-balancing, service discovery, and serving let's encrypt certificates. We use it for all of our customer demos and build a lot of services surrounding Traefik .
What do you dislike about the product?
Not enough time to try all the features.
- room for improvement in documentation
