Traefik Labs builds the cloud-native networking layer that sits between your users and your services. Its flagship open-source Traefik Proxy - downloaded more than 3 billion times - auto-discovers containers and routes traffic without hand-written config, and its commercial Traefik Hub extends that into a unified 'Triple Gate' platform covering API, AI, and MCP traffic. Founded in France in 2016 and now headquartered in San Francisco, the company's stated goal is to make networking boring: reliable enough that developers stop thinking about it.
