In these uncertain times and multiple months of remote work, at least we have some more time to dive into something new. I have been developing in Go since 2017, learned some TypeScript in the meantime, but few days ago I wanted to get into Rust once again.

Using Traefik 2.2 middlewares with Kubernetes Ingress resources

Here you can find the full list of available directives that you can use to create your middleware. In this article we are going to define two middlewares, one to redirect www.example.io to example.io, so that we make SEO happy and another one for basic authentication.

It is written in Go and it’s maybe not as fast as nginx or HAProxy, but it is fast enough and in the same time it has great features not present in traditional Web servers. These features include automatic care of TLS certificates, nice control panel, support for Docker stacks and Kubernetes, etc.
