Traefik Labs, creator of the world’s leading cloud-native application proxy with over 3.4 billion downloads, today unveiled its application intelligence platform that unifies application-layer routing, security, and observability across VMs, containers, and serverless workloads. The platform supports deployment across any environment—from public cloud to fully air-gapped facilities—enabling organizations to maintain operational independence and data sovereignty. The announcement includes Traefik Proxy 3.6, which adds Knative support for serverless functions, multi-layer routing for context-aware traffic decisions, and full support for Kubernetes Gateway API v1.4.
Beyond Infrastructure Silos
As enterprises modernize application architectures, application delivery has become fragmented across VMs, containerized microservices, and serverless functions—each requiring different gateway solutions, configurations, and expertise. This fragmentation creates operational complexity, inconsistent security policies, and limited visibility.
Traefik’s application intelligence platform eliminates this by operating at the application layer—understanding HTTP requests, user identity, and business context to make intelligent routing decisions that traditional IP-level routing cannot deliver. Organizations enforce the same policies, security controls, and observability whether applications run on VMs, Kubernetes containers, or serverless functions.
“The industry has sadly accepted infrastructure-specific application delivery as inevitable, forcing teams to manage separate stacks for VMs, containers, and serverless,” said Sudeep Goswami, CEO at Traefik Labs. “We’re proving that’s a false choice. Organizations can have unified application intelligence that works everywhere while remaining open and standards-based. This is infrastructure that adapts to your applications, not the other way around.”
