What’s New in Traefik v3?
summary
Traefik v3 introduces OpenTelemetry traces and metrics (logs to come when SDKs mature), an experimental Gateway API provider for structured routes and filters, and WASM plugin support including a Coraza WAF plugin to run ModSecurity rules. Migration keeps dynamic v2 configurations and reports compatibility issues, and benchmarks show throughput around 54k req/s for plain v3, 66k for nginx, and up to 71k req/s for Traefik using fast‑HTTP optimizations; project stats include ~3.2 billion downloads and ~750 contributors.
