These are just some of the many features Traefik offers for free.

Nachteile

Documentation in the early versions was very poor. In the last version it is better but not very detailed and with few examples.
Cache is available only in PRO version.

Vorteile

Overall good documentation and the product is easy to set up and reliable. The community is very helpful.

Nachteile

The documentation on using Traefik on Kubernetes could be better.

Vorteile

Traefik has an API and dashboard that can be useful for configuring and debugging purposes.

Nachteile

It can be confusing to understand why the middleware or service is not catching certain routes, and it would be helpful if there were more information included in the debugging output or if there were a comprehensive guide for troubleshooting issues with Traefik.

Nachteile

For our needs we dind't miss any feature!

Vorteile

As reverse proxies go this is the most flexible one that I've seen. It has so many knobs to turn, that you can make it work almost in any scenario you can imagine. More than 10 configuration providers allow for a wide plethora of usage scenarios, and Kubernetes Ingress Controller implementation makes managing your cluster ingresses a breeze.

Nachteile

Configuring Traefik requires some experience, but once you mastered it the possibilities are endless

Vorteile

Traefik is relatively easy to set up and configure, especially if you are already familiar with reverse proxies and load balancers. It has a simple and intuitive configuration file format. It is optimized for containerized environments, making it a good choice for use with Docker and Kubernetes.

Nachteile

The documentation can be somewhat limited in scope, especially for advanced features and configurations. While Traefik does support secure sockets layer (SSL) and transport layer security (TLS) protocols, it does not include any built-in tools for generating or managing SSL certificates.

Vorteile

Traefik supports both local installation and docker installation, with the docker installation, you can easily route requests to containers.

Nachteile

Documentation can be made more verbose.
