Traefik FastProxy Experimental Configuration

Overview

This guide provides instructions on how to configure and use the new experimental fastProxy static configuration option in Traefik. The fastProxy option introduces a high-performance reverse proxy designed to enhance the performance of routing.

Limitations

Please note that the new fast proxy implementation does not work with HTTP/2. This means that when a H2C or HTTPS request with HTTP2 enabled is sent to a backend, the fallback proxy is the regular one.

Additionnaly, observability features like tracing and OTEL semconv metrics are not supported for the moment.

Experimental

The fastProxy option is currently experimental and subject to change in future releases. Use with caution in production environments.

The fastProxy option is a static configuration parameter. To enable it, you need to configure it in your Traefik static configuration
