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
