Traefik
Traefik is a modern, cloud-native reverse proxy and load balancer designed for microservices architectures. It automatically discovers and configures routes for services by integrating with container orchestrators like Docker and Kubernetes, as well as cloud platforms. It simplifies traffic management by providing dynamic routing, SSL/TLS termination, and observability features out of the box.
Developers should use Traefik when building microservices-based applications that require automated service discovery and dynamic routing, especially in containerized environments like Docker or Kubernetes. It is ideal for scenarios where services are frequently deployed or scaled, as it eliminates manual configuration of routing rules and certificates, reducing operational overhead and improving deployment agility.
