Traefik can also query the APIs of different "providers" (container engines, container orochestrators, key-value stores, or cloud providers) and then dynamically reconfigure its routes when it detects a change.[7] Traefik HubTraefik Hub is a commercial product offered separately from the Traefik reverse proxy. It is a GitOps-based, API management solution.[12][5] See AlsoReferences
