Deep Dive Into Traefik 3.0
summary
Traefik 3.0 adds OpenTelemetry support for traces and metrics (logs follow when the Go SDK exits beta), implements Gateway API (HTTP/TLS, filters) with production-ready 1.1 support coming, and embeds WASM plugins so teams can drop in a Coraza WAF as a sandboxed middleware. The project reports ~3.3 billion downloads, ~50k GitHub stars and growing contributors. Migration from v2 is progressive (mixed v2/v3 clusters), and an optional fastHTTP pipeline benchmarks ~71k RPS versus ~54k for v3 default.
