Traefik is a modern HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer that makes deploying microservices easy.
|
|
Traefik integrates with your existing infrastructure components ([Docker](https://www.docker.com/), [Swarm mode](https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/), [Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io), [Marathon](https://mesosphere.github.io/marathon/), [Consul](https://www.consul.io/), [Etcd](https://coreos.com/etcd/), [Rancher](https://rancher.com), [Amazon ECS](https://aws.amazon.com/ecs), ...) and configures itself automatically and dynamically.
|
|
Pointing Traefik at your orchestrator should be the _only_ configuration step you need.

:construction: As stated in the [1.7 release note](https://blog.containo.us/traefik-1-7-yet-another-slice-of-awesomeness-2a9c99737889#782d), a significant update is in progress on the [master](https://github.com/containous/traefik/tree/master) branch. This branch will remain in constant evolution and prone to change with little notice, so use it for test purposes only.
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
Imagine that you have deployed a bunch of microservices with the help of an orchestrator (like Swarm or Kubernetes) or a service registry (like etcd or consul).
|
|
Now you want users to access these microservices, and you need a reverse proxy.
|
|
|
|
Traditional reverse-proxies require that you configure _each_ route that will connect paths and subdomains to _each_ microservice.
|
|
In an environment where you add, remove, kill, upgrade, or scale your services _many_ times a day, the task of keeping the routes up to date becomes tedious.
|
|
|
|
**This is when Traefik can help you!**
|
|
|
|
Traefik listens to your service registry/orchestrator API and instantly generates the routes so your microservices are connected to the outside world -- without further intervention from your part.
|
|
|
|
**Run Traefik and let it do the work for you!**
|
|
_(But if you'd rather configure some of your routes manually, Traefik supports that too!)_
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

## Quickstart
|
|
|
|
To get your hands on Traefik, you can use the [5-Minute Quickstart](http://docs.traefik.io/#the-traefik-quickstart-using-docker) in our documentation (you will need Docker).
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, if you don't want to install anything on your computer, you can try Traefik online in this great [Katacoda tutorial](https://www.katacoda.com/courses/traefik/deploy-load-balancer) that shows how to load balance requests between multiple Docker containers.
|
|
|
|
If you are looking for a more comprehensive and real use-case example, you can also check [Play-With-Docker](http://training.play-with-docker.com/traefik-load-balancing/) to see how to load balance between multiple nodes.
|
|
|
|
## Web UI

|
|
- Bug-fixes (e.g. 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.2.1, 1.2.3) are released as needed (no additional features are delivered in those versions, bug-fixes only)
|
|
|
