Traefik Reviews & Product Details

Traefik fits perfectly any container orchestrator (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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Debugging is a bit harsh (default is very silent). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not enough time to try all the features.

- room for improvement in documentation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part is its configuration is simple and it discovers backend services in a dynamic way without restart. We have deployed this Product in MCE/Multi client environment to discover backend services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

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.

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

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

Traefik is very easy to use and Let's Encrypt is the best feature, and middleware is a great concept. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They should provide documentation on how we can configure Let's Encrypt with an L7 load balancer and they should provide an option to print the backend service name in logs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

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.

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