Traefik is a modern [[HTTP]] [[Reverse Proxy]] and [[Load Balancer]] that automatically creates routes that connect your [[Microservices|microservices]] to the outside world, saving you the effort of doing it manually.
It works well with [[Container Orchestration Engines|orchestrators]] like [[Kubernetes]] and [[Docker Swarm]], supports multiple [[Load Balancer|load balancing]] algorithms, and uses [[Let's Encrypt]] for wildcard [[SSL]] certificate support.
