A concise architecture note for a minimal Traefik TLS termination design using Let's Encrypt, covering requirements, trust boundaries, operational checks, failure modes, and when to redesign.
Traefik's rate-limit middleware applies a token bucket per router using Docker labels. It returns HTTP 429 instead of queueing, but each Traefik instance enforces limits independently—so horizontal scaling multiplies your effective limit.
Learn how to implement rate limiting in Traefik Proxy, including the trade-offs between local in-memory counters and shared global stores, and how to avoid common identity trust pitfalls.
Deciding between Traefik's Docker and File providers involves balancing automatic service discovery against centralized security and external service support.
Discover how to protect your microservices from traffic spikes using Traefik’s built‑in rate‑limiting middleware. Follow a step‑by‑step Docker Compose example, verify behavior, and learn trade‑offs for production.
Traefik’s ACME resolver automates certificate handling, but choosing HTTP‑01, DNS‑01, or TLS‑ALPN‑01 is a critical decision. This guide explains the trade‑offs, shows a working HTTP‑01 example, and offers a checklist to avoid common pitfalls.
