Back in 2015, a revolution was under way. We were moving from manual, handcrafted infrastructures, to container-based, industrial, and human-free platforms. In those dark ages of orchestration, edge traffic was remarkably difficult to manage. On one side, we had traditional reverse-proxies that were built for static infrastructures, on the other side, we were building dynamic clusters made to deploy and manage thousands of microservices. The idea of having a simple and automatic edge router, all in one binary, was appealing, but also idealistic. The foundation of Traefik was laid that year, paving the way to building a project with strong…

Containous, the company behind Traefik, is announcing Traefik Enterprise Edition — TraefikEE — a new platform built on top of Traefik, designed for business-critical deployments.

In just three years, Traefik, the Cloud Native Edge Router, has become a key player in microservices infrastructures. With more than 19,000 stars on Github and 400,000,000 downloads on DockerHub, Traefik is widely used by major companies in their production environments.

Today, we are proud to announce that TraefikEE, our new commercial product, has reached public beta. TraefikEE allows you to deploy distributed Traefik instances across your infrastructure, providing a scalable and reliable edge routing…

At Containous, we’re excited to share the news — Starting today, we’ll provide commercial support for Træfik.

Making sure that every professional can rely on Træfik for their infrastructure is our top priority.

We’ve had lots of discussions about the possible…

Let’s Encrypt HTTP Challenge

On January the 9th, a little surprise appeared on our Twitter timeline:

And then:

TL;DR: Let’s Encrypt permanently disabled TLS-SNI-0x challenge due to a vulnerability.

And yes, Traefik was using TLS-SNI-01 challenge by default. Ouch…

Even though we were…

Last year, we had this idea to create a little puzzle to hire new engineers on Traefik.

As we are deeply linked to Docker on this project, we thought it would be great to focus on technical challenges around containers. So we pushed a Docker image:

$ docker run containous/jobs
Do you like puzzles ?

Few people informed us that our image must have an issue as it was only printing Do you like puzzles ?. Yup. That was the whole point. Something was indeed hidden here, and you had to find it 😉

Let’s jump into it!

First…

Custom headers can be configured through the frontends, to add headers to either requests or…

We released Traefik 1.2 only two months ago, and we are proud to announce that the fresh new Traefik 1.3, codename raclette is out!
