Traefik
Run APIs Easily. Anywhere.

Traefik is a self-hosted, cloud-native application proxy, API gateway, and API management platform designed for DevOps and platform engineers. It provides GitOps-driven API lifecycle management including discovery, versioning, subscriptions, and runtime governance. The platform scales from a simple reverse proxy to a full control plane with distributed data plane capabilities.
Traefik acts as a self-hosted, declarative application proxy and API gateway that integrates with GitOps workflows to handle routing, API lifecycle management, access control, and observability in one platform.
