## Notes

Traefik is a reverse proxy and load balancer written in Go that reads route definitions from container runtimes, orchestrators and files, so routing follows the services it finds. Traefik Labs maintains it. The [Docker guide](https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/getting-started/docker/) starts with a container image, and Kubernetes users install it from a Helm chart.

## Worth knowing

Traefik Hub and Traefik Enterprise are separate commercial products from Traefik Labs; this record covers the open-source Traefik Proxy.
