Traefik

Reverse proxy that configures itself with Docker and Kubernetes.

AppOpen source

Reverse proxy and load balancer that discovers services automatically in Docker, Kubernetes and other orchestrators, with automatic HTTPS.

When to use

In container environments, where services come and go and routing must keep up.

When to avoid

On simple, static servers, where NGINX or Caddy are more direct.
