Traefik's 10-year anniversary


10 years ago, I made a small reverse proxy project public. Fast forward to today and Traefik has 3.4B downloads and 56k GitHub stars. See how it unfolded.

Within a week of the public announcement, Traefik was in the top trending projects on GitHub, and I found myself frantically responding to issues and pull requests from developers around the world. Automatic service discovery (no more manual config updates) Let's Encrypt integration (because HTTPS should be easy) Support for Docker, Kubernetes, Marathon, and other orchestrators Live configuration reloading (remember when you had to restart everything?) The industry has moved into its productivity era, but that doesn't mean the innovation stops—it just becomes more focused on solving the real operational challenges that platform teams face every day.
