What do you like best about Traefik?

Easy of use and all configuration everything through labels Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Traefik?

Not a dislike, but maybe add some generic examples. For example, what does one needs to have custom https certificates running on a Kube cluster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Traefik solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am a heavy user of Traefik in my personal and professional projects. I have been used it on local docker, Kubernetes, and ECS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Traefik?

Traefik can automatically route and load-balance containers, without any additional configuration Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Traefik?

Overall, I was satisfied with the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Traefik solving and how is that benefiting you?

While we initially used Nginx to route our traffic, we were tired of having to manually set up all of our configurations. So we decided to move to Traefik so that our containers are automatically routed and load-balanced, without any additional configuration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Traefik?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Traefik?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Traefik 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Traefik?

Traefik is an awesome reverse proxy that works seamlessly with various orchestration backends (e.g Kubernetes, Docker, Docker Swarm, Amazon ECS, among others) rewriting HTTP configuration when services are deployed, stopped or replicated. One of the things I like most about traefik is the fact that it integrates with letsencrypt to provide free HTTPS. Once configured, any domains you use will automatically get issued an SSL certificate from letsencrypt. Traefik will also automatically renew your certificate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Traefik?

Traefik doesn't suppport websockets or other TCP protocols (other than HTTP). Traefik was also hard to set up the first time. The documentation great but could probably be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Traefik:

There aren't many reverse proxies that work seamless with a wide range of container orchestration tools the way traefik does. In my humble opinion Traefik has the widest range of features compared to products in it's category. Best of all, it's free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Traefik solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use traefik as a reverse proxy and load balancer for all our web services Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
