Govern Your APIs with Traefik Hub

Traefik Hub transforms your API infrastructure by providing enterprise-grade API Gateway and comprehensive API Management capabilities. Built on the foundation of Traefik Proxy, Hub enables organizations to govern, secure, and manage APIs at scale across cloud-native environments.

API Gateway and API Management Capabilities

Traefik Hub offers two complementary approaches to API governance:

  • Traefik Hub API Gateway: Enterprise-grade security, distributed features, and advanced access control for cloud-native API gateway scenarios. It includes AI Gateway capabilities for modern machine learning workloads.

  • Traefik Hub API Management: Comprehensive API lifecycle management, developer portals, and organizational features for teams managing multiple APIs across environments.

API Management Features

Traefik Hub API Management provides a complete suite of features designed to streamline API governance and accelerate developer productivity:

Comprehensive API Lifecycle Management

  • Centralized API Catalog: Comprehensive API inventory providing real-time visibility and control
  • Advanced Versioning: Utilize the most flexible API versioning and Kubernetes-native labels to logically organize APIs, track their evolution over time, and avoid breaking changes for client applications
  • Quality Control: Perform error checks and change impact analysis with Traefik Hub's static analyzer to ensure compliance and prevent misconfiguration by catching errors early
  • Resource Management: Centralize rate limits, quotas, and policy enforcement across groups of APIs through Plans & Bundles, ensuring consistent and efficient resource management
  • Subscription Management: Create managed and self-serve subscriptions for enhanced ease-of-use, security, and auditability
  • Standards Compliance: Import, validate, and manage APIs using industry-standard OpenAPI specifications

Developer Experience & Self-Service

  • Customizable Portals: Easily create one or more dedicated API Portals for developers to discover, understand, and interact with your APIs
  • Interactive API Testing: Allow developers to test APIs directly within the portal for immediate feedback
  • Branded Experience: Customize the API portal to house API documentation, clear integration instructions, and personalized content to foster adoption and streamline development
  • Credential Management: Generate API access credentials, such as API keys, directly from the portal for simplified access and secure integration
  • Auto-generated Documentation: Automatically generated, interactive API documentation from OpenAPI specifications in the portal

Enterprise-Grade Security

  • Access Control: Implement fine-grained permissions through detailed API policies and JWT inspection to secure access to API resources
  • Identity Integration: Leverage existing identity and access management (IAM) solutions, such as Keycloak, Okta, Auth0, etc. through industry-standard authentication protocols, including native OIDC support
  • Data Protection: Advanced TLS management, supporting Let's Encrypt (ACME) and SPIFFE for robust data protection
  • Threat Prevention: Native Web Application Firewall (WAF) powered by OWASP Coraza to defend against known vulnerabilities

Observability

  • Open Standards Monitoring: Gain deep insights into API health and performance with OpenTelemetry integration to provide metrics and tracing capabilities without vendor lock-in
  • Third-party Integrations: Turnkey integration with Treblle directly on the Traefik Hub Dashboard for real-time, out-of-the-box observability without maintaining a complex monitoring infrastructure
  • Pre-built Grafana Dashboards: Ready-to-use monitoring dashboards with key API metrics and performance indicators
