Dive into a comprehensive 57-minute crash course on Traefik, an open-source reverse proxy and Edge Router written in GO. Explore Traefik's architecture, TCP vs HTTP proxying, and its capabilities as a reverse proxy and load balancer. Learn to install Traefik Docker, configure it as a Layer 7 proxy, set up static configurations, and proxy to multiple backend NodeJS services. Master advanced techniques like splitting load across backends, blocking specific requests, implementing weighted round-robin, and utilizing Traefik as a Layer 4 proxy. Discover how to create DNS records, enable HTTPS with Let's Encrypt, and optimize TLS settings. Gain practical insights through hands-on demonstrations and access valuable resources for further learning.
