Træfɪk (pronounced like [traffic](https://speak-ipa.bearbin.net/speak.cgi?speak=%CB%88tr%C3%A6f%C9%AAk)) is a modern HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer made to deploy microservices with ease.
It supports several backends ([Docker](https://www.docker.com/), [Swarm](https://docs.docker.com/swarm), [Kubernetes](http://kubernetes.io), [Marathon](https://mesosphere.github.io/marathon/), [Mesos](https://github.com/apache/mesos), [Consul](https://www.consul.io/), [Etcd](https://coreos.com/etcd/), [Zookeeper](https://zookeeper.apache.org), [BoltDB](https://github.com/boltdb/bolt), [Eureka](https://github.com/Netflix/eureka), [Amazon DynamoDB](https://aws.amazon.com/dynamodb/), Rest API, file...) to manage its configuration automatically and dynamically.
## Overview
Imagine that you have deployed a bunch of microservices on your infrastructure. You probably used a service registry (like etcd or consul) and/or an orchestrator (swarm, Mesos/Marathon) to manage all these services.
If you want your users to access some of your microservices from the Internet, you will have to use a reverse proxy and configure it using virtual hosts or prefix paths:
- domain `api.domain.com` will point the microservice `api` in your private network
- path `domain.com/web` will point the microservice `web` in your private network
- domain `backoffice.domain.com` will point the microservices `backoffice` in your private network, load-balancing between your multiple instances
But a microservices architecture is dynamic... Services are added, removed, killed or upgraded often, eventually several times a day.
Traditional reverse-proxies are not natively dynamic. You can't change their configuration and hot-reload easily.
Here enters Træfɪk.
![Architecture](docs/img/architecture.png)
Træfɪk can listen to your service registry/orchestrator API, and knows each time a microservice is added, removed, killed or upgraded, and can generate its configuration automatically.
Routes to your services will be created instantly.
Run it and forget it!

- Rest API
- Multiple backends supported: Docker, Swarm, Kubernetes, Marathon, Mesos, Consul, Etcd, and more to come
- Watchers for backends, can listen for changes in backends to apply a new configuration automatically
- Hot-reloading of configuration. No need to restart the process
- Graceful shutdown http connections
- Circuit breakers on backends
- Round Robin, rebalancer load-balancers
- Rest Metrics
- [Tiny](https://microbadger.com/images/traefik) [official](https://hub.docker.com/r/_/traefik/) docker image included

## Quickstart
You can have a quick look at Træfɪk in this [Katacoda tutorial](https://www.katacoda.com/courses/traefik/deploy-load-balancer) that shows how to load balance requests between multiple Docker containers.
Here is a talk given by [Ed Robinson](https://github.com/errm) at the [ContainerCamp UK](https://container.camp) conference.
You will learn fundamental Træfɪk features and see some demos with Kubernetes.

Here is a talk (in French) given by [Emile Vauge](https://github.com/emilevauge) at the [Devoxx France 2016](http://www.devoxx.fr) conference.
You will learn fundamental Træfɪk features and see some demos with Docker, Mesos/Marathon and Let's Encrypt.

## Plumbing
- [Oxy](https://github.com/vulcand/oxy): an awesome proxy library made by Mailgun guys
- [Gorilla mux](https://github.com/gorilla/mux): famous request router
- [Negroni](https://github.com/codegangsta/negroni): web middlewares made simple
- [Manners](https://github.com/mailgun/manners): graceful shutdown of http.Handler servers
- [Lego](https://github.com/xenolf/lego): the best [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org) library in go
## Test it
- The simple way: grab the latest binary from the [releases](https://github.com/containous/traefik/releases) page and just run it with the [sample configuration file](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/containous/traefik/master/traefik.sample.toml):
```shell
./traefik --configFile=traefik.toml
```
- Use the tiny Docker image:
```shell
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -p 80:80 -v $PWD/traefik.toml:/etc/traefik/traefik.toml traefik
```
- From sources:
```shell
git clone https://github.com/containous/traefik
```
