# Welcome

Traefik is an [open-source](https://github.com/containous/traefik) *Edge Router* that makes publishing your services a fun and easy experience.
|
||
|
|
It receives requests on behalf of your system and finds out which components are responsible for handling them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
What sets Traefik apart, besides its many features, is that it automatically discovers the right configuration for your services.
|
||
|
|
The magic happens when Traefik inspects your infrastructure, where it finds relevant information and discovers which service serves which request.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Traefik is natively compliant with every major cluster technology, such as Kubernetes, Docker, Docker Swarm, AWS, Mesos, Marathon, and [the list goes on](providers/overview.md); and can handle many at the same time. (It even works for legacy software running on bare metal.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
With Traefik, there is no need to maintain and synchronize a separate configuration file: everything happens automatically, in real time (no restarts, no connection interruptions).
|
||
|
|
With Traefik, you spend time developing and deploying new features to your system, not on configuring and maintaining its working state.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Developing Traefik, our main goal is to make it simple to use, and we're sure you'll enjoy it.
