Two years later – did Traefik replace Nginx and HAproxy?

I recently pivoted out of my org's DevOps & SRE team to something in middle-management and product facing (many drinks have been spilled over this decision) and one of my colleagues who still works on that team pushed traefik enough that the team pivoted to it.

I couldn't tell you if it was the right or effective decision any more quickly than I could tell you he's been battling with it constantly since getting the greenlight from his PM to do so. Exposure is admittedly limited to hearing about the struggles the team has faced through the water-cooler/coffee room chats.

Traefik is nifty for quick and simple Docker deployments, making it quite easy to add additional services to the existing proxy/load balancer, with a few additional lines in that service's docker-compose file.
