After switching to Traefik, I haven't looked back. I prefer the fully open source options of HAProxy or Traefik to the feature-paywalled "free tier" nginx of today. Capability wise, between the two they have everything ngx has and more*. Also, have you ever tried compiling ngx yourself (they don't include Lua modules support in their k8s Docker images)? It's not easy, interesting, or fun. More of a nightmare.<p>Finally, I sure don't miss feeling the urge to bookmark config helper articles like this one- nginx is challenging to configure well! Endless hidden options, and for whatever reason I found their documentation less helpful than HAProxy's.<p>If you are forced to continue using it, you have my sympathy.<p>* I've created some rather exotic LB setups as times to meet requirements.
