Sudeep Goswami, CEO of Traefik Labs, began the presentation by introducing Traefik Labs and outlining three main topics. The first was the concept of unified application intelligence. Second, the acceleration of AI in the enterprise. Finally, running applications anywhere, emphasizing freedom of choice, including public cloud, edge environments, and air-gapped environments. All growing themes at KubeCon.
Traefik is one of the most downloaded API gateways, boasting over 3.4 billion downloads on Docker Hub. The open-source project, Traffic Proxy, boasts a vibrant community with over 800 contributors, and its latest version, V3.6, features numerous enhancements driven by the community. Traefik is known for its intuitive interface, ease of use, and powerful capabilities, with a fully declarative infrastructure-as-code deployment model. The primary users and advocates are DevOps engineers, platform teams, and SREs, with increasing adoption by security and AIOps teams due to the agility and user experience it provides for AI workloads.
The core of Traefik Labs’ portfolio is Traefik Hub, which offers an open-source ingress controller, a licensed API gateway, and API management. Differentiators include excellent documentation, being Kube-native, an intuitive UI, and a focus on day two operations. They are fully declarative, embracing the GitOps model and CI/CD pipelines, enabling effective change management. Traefik’s pricing model is cluster-based or instance-based, unlike competitors that charge based on request volume, providing more predictable budgeting. The licensing also provides a safe zone for bursting without penalizing for autoscaling.
