Use Traefik as a load balancer or a reverse proxy for
microservices-based architecture. This book covers Traefik integration
for microservices architecture concerns such as service discovery,
telemetry, and resiliency.
The book focuses on building an in-depth understanding of Traefik. It
starts with the fundamentals of Traefik, including different load
balancing algorithms available, and failure handling for application
resiliency. Examples are included for the failure scenarios. TLS support
is explained, including scenarios of TLS termination and TLS forwarding.
Traefik supports TLS termination using Let's Encrypt. Traefik deployment
in prominent microservices ecosystems is discussed, including Docker and
Kubernetes.
Traefik is a language-neutral component. This book presents examples of
its deployment with Java-based microservices. The examples in the book
show Traefik integration with Jaeger/Zipkin, Prometheus, Grafana, and
FluentD. Also covered is Traefik for Python-based services and
Java-based services deployed in the Kubernetes cluster. By the end of
the book, you will confidently know how to deploy and integrate Traefik
into prominent microservices ecosystems.
