What's Good
MIT Proxy. Native Docker/Kubernetes/Consul providers, automatic service discovery, Let's Encrypt resolvers, middlewares. One binary that reconfigures as your fleet changes. Traefik Labs Hub/Enterprise are optional add-ons — the proxy itself stays free.
The Catch
Vs Caddy: dynamic Docker/K8s LB/Ingress lane, not auto-HTTPS-for-one-binary. Steeper label/static-vs-dynamic model. Not a PaaS. Hub/API-management SKUs are separate paid products you do not need for reverse-proxy duty.
Verdict
MIT dynamic proxy for Docker/K8s. Free core; Hub is optional paid.
