# Traefik Labs

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/providers/traefik/  
**Website:** https://traefik.io/  
**APIs profiled:** 16

Traefik Labs builds cloud-native traffic and API infrastructure - the open-source Traefik Proxy (an ingress controller, reverse proxy, and load balancer for Kubernetes, Docker, Nomad, ECS, Consul, and bare metal), plus the commercial Traefik Hub product line covering API Gateway, API Management, AI Gateway, and MCP Gateway. The data plane is the same Traefik binary across every tier; the Hub control plane adds GitOps-driven CRDs, a developer portal, multi-cluster dashboards, WAF, advanced auth, and AI safety / agent-governance capabilities.
