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

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a DevOps consultancy, we try to choose tools that can solve multiple problems while limiting the number of tools which we deploy. Traefik is such a tool which checks both of these boxes.
- reverse proxy
- edge proxy
- Let's Encrypt
- Load Balancing
- Monitoring
- Service discovery
- Docker Reverse-Proxy
- Kubernetes Ingress
- easy bootstrap full-stack application w/Traefik

Simplify your deployments with Traefik !
What do you like best about the product?
Traefik is very fast, understandable and tunable reverse-proxy and load-balancer. SSL with Let's Encrypt (auto-renew, one description for every entry points, security headers to have a hardened configuration) is a strong and good feature.
- Support is pro-active and development is fluent.
- Active community and helpful CM all over the world
- Nice and dynamic web UI
- Don't have to setup a strong architecture - Traefik just need to be in front of the web and that's it
- Auto discover is a fantastic functionality and

What do you dislike about the product?
Traefik deserves to be rigorous (yaml formatting). There are no real problem, you just have to be careful read the docs and be helped by the community.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reverse-proxying services on a server with Traefik is very easy and secure. fast deployment and no bottleneck.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Learn it, try it, use it and spread the word !
My GOTO reverse proxy
What do you like best about the product?
Easy of use and all configuration everything through labels
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product 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.
Simple Ingress in a Complicated World.
What do you like best about the product?
My customers and I love the simplicity. The dynamic service discovery makes the implementation easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike it is not default for all Kubernetes distributions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Traefik solves the ingress problem. Meaning it allows for a simple set of ports and dynamic discovery for all the externally facing microservers. Adding easy TLS termination means that developers have an easy path to creating a secure service.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Traefik is fantastic for both Kubernetes and Swarm. They have implemented service discovery for both orchestrators that makes ingress easy.
My Favorite All-in-one Reverse Proxy (and much more)
What do you like best about the product?
Traefik fits perfectly any container orquestrator (Swarm mode or Kubernetes) in a very simple deployment, replacing any reverse proxy (or ingress controller) you had before *AND* negotiating let's encrypt certificates for HTTPS easily. Traefik listens to any other deployment and reconfigures itself automagically.
I recommend Traefik to beginners and seasoned developers. It just works.

What do you dislike about the product?
Debugging is a bit harsh (default is very silent).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I usually deploy Traefik as a Kubernetes Ingress Controller in self-service clusters provisioned by "fire-and-forget" automations. In simpler deployments Traefik does the same job for Swarm mode clusters.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Using Traefik is simpler than the usual pair "nginx ingress + cert-manager" in Kubernetes. You should give it a try, but finding the proper settings can take some time (specially when trying Let's Encrypt certificates). You should turn on debugging to understand what is happening.
A fantastic, simple system that is easy to configure.
What do you like best about the product?
Traefik is very easy to install regardless of which backend you're planning on using. Configuration is just as easy.
The Kubernetes integration is top-notch and makes it very easy to manage configuration, adding/removing routes, middleware, etc with standard tools.

What do you dislike about the product?
Traefik is still adding features. Support for UDP was only added recently and there are many other things still in the works.
That said, features do come quick and the developers & community are quick to respond.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm using Traefik as the Ingress controller for multiple Kubernetes clusters. Traefik manages ingress routes and middleware for dynamically deployed applications which are spun up on-demand.
If you are running micro services for your solution Traefik is the best option available as of now
What do you like best about the product?
Super Easy to use,
Awesome documentation,
Integrated SSl solution provided by Let's Encrypt,
the most I like about this is it's routing mechanism without any additional configuration.

What do you dislike about the product?
As I am using traefic for last more than one year overall I am satisfied but just one thing I always think that they should provide documentation (a batter one) about how to configure as It takes too much time to figure out by .toml file which is all try and catch.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
while I was using Nginx and IIS it was really hard to manage frontend and backend services and their respective networking traefik did a real good job there.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If You are deploying microservices very often, traefic is the best option available as of now
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

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.
