Anyone know of a Traefik alternative but in Rust? I'm looking to oxidize a lot of my stack so just curious.

#12With Envoy (https://www.envoyproxy.io/) and Contour (https://projectcontour.io/) being official CNCF sanctioned projects in the Service Proxy space, Istio (https://istio.io/) and Linkerd (https://linkerd.io/) being official CNCF sanctioned projects in the Service Mesh space and Emissary Ingress (https://emissary-ingress.dev/) the same in the API Gateway space, just to name a few, naming yourself a standard are some pretty big words...
... Traefik is pretty good yes, but a standard? Hell no.

#13Earlier quoted context omitted.
I don’t think this is representative of the majority of traefik’s users. Most of us use it as an HTTP entrypoint for a container stack (docker compose, in my case) or for local development, and the FOSS version works great for that, with better dev tooling than anything else i’ve seen.
I disagree. If you're a heavy Traefik user you're eventually going to need a feature that has been carefully omitted from the F/OSS projects.

Ok, I use it at home as part of my K8s cluster. I haven't once come close to needing a feature I don't have because it largely does what I need as a proxy and gets out of the way.
What features do you feel a more average of the target audience is likely to need or want to pay for eventually?

While there is pingora https://blog.cloudflare.com/how-we-built-pingora-the-proxy-t..., I would recommend checking out envoy. Although not rust based, envoy has gained quite the repute for being extremely versatile and robust.

Yea, envoy is the premier open source (not open core+ paid features) proxy right now in my opinion. Modern, well supported, big community, reliable. If I was making a bet long term I would be looking at envoy and not some open core crap where they can rug pull you at any moment.

Auth and middleware packages that are essential for a production site.

That's not heavy use.

#17So much hate for Traefik here. I don't get it. I personally use it and find it amazing, but I read elsewhere that their enterprise offering is prohibitively expensive.
I wish them to succeed, Traefik has been one of my favorite choices for Kubernetes for a long time now :)

#18Amusing that they don't mention xds at all.
How did they "win" when xds, envoy's config, is becoming the defacto interface to LBs? Sure, Gateway API is kinda xds by not, but it's envoy all the way down.

Thanks, I'm looking specifically for a Rust based one, as I know there are lots of proxies in other languages but few in Rust, and I'm just curious if anyone has suggestions on that.

#20I never understood why folks use Traefik. HAProxy feels more configurable and resilient.
Easy to configure, straightforward and intuitive. Clear and detailed documentation. Recently, I wanted to try HAProxy, but I gave up because I got lost in the config, and I don't trust AI agents to do things I don't understand.
