Feature-Implementierungen

1. Load Balancing

Traefik unterstützt mehrere Load-Balancing-Algorithmen über loadBalancer.sticky:

GAL Algorithm Traefik Implementation Beschreibung
round_robin Default (keine Config) Gleichmäßige Verteilung
least_conn ⚠️ Nicht verfügbar Traefik wählt zufällig
ip_hash sticky.cookie Session Persistence via Cookie
weighted servers.weight Gewichtete Verteilung

Implementierung (gal/providers/traefik.py:230-261):

# Services
output.append("  services:")
for service in config.services:
    output.append(f"    {service.name}:")
    output.append("      loadBalancer:")
    output.append("        servers:")

    # Targets
    if service.upstream:
        if service.upstream.targets:
            for target in service.upstream.targets:
                weight = target.weight if target.weight else 1
                url = f"http://{target.host}:{target.port}"
                output.append(f"          - url: \"{url}\"")
                if weight != 1:
                    output.append(f"            weight: {weight}")

Sticky Sessions (gal/providers/traefik.py:425):

# Sticky sessions (IP hash)
if service.upstream and service.upstream.load_balancer:
    if service.upstream.load_balancer.algorithm == "ip_hash":
        output.append("        sticky:")
        output.append("          cookie:")
        output.append("            name: lb")

Beispiel:

upstream:
  targets:
    - host: api-1.internal
      port: 8080
      weight: 3
    - host: api-2.internal
      port: 8080
      weight: 1
  load_balancer:
    algorithm: weighted

2. Health Checks

Traefik bietet Active Health Checks (Passive nur eingeschränkt über Circuit Breaker).

Active Health Checks (gal/providers/traefik.py:262-277):

# Health checks
if service.upstream and service.upstream.health_check:
    hc = service.upstream.health_check
    if hc.active and hc.active.enabled:
        output.append("        healthCheck:")
        output.append(f"          path: {hc.active.path}")
        output.append(
            f"          interval: {hc.active.interval}"
        )
        output.append(
            f"          timeout: {hc.active.timeout}"
        )

Passive Health Checks: Traefik hat keine native passive health checks. Nutze Circuit Breaker als Alternative.

Beispiel:

upstream:
  health_check:
    active:
      enabled: true
      path: /health
      interval: 5s
      timeout: 3s
      healthy_threshold: 2
      unhealthy_threshold: 3

3. Rate Limiting

Traefik verwendet das rateLimit Middleware.

Implementierung (gal/providers/traefik.py:347-359):

# Rate limiting middlewares (route-level)
for service in config.services:
    for i, route in enumerate(service.routes):
        if route.rate_limit and route.rate_limit.enabled:
            router_name = f"{service.name}_router_{i}"
            rl = route.rate_limit
            output.append(f"    {router_name}_ratelimit:")
            output.append("      rateLimit:")
            output.append(f"        average: {rl.requests_per_second}")
            burst = (
                rl.burst if rl.burst else rl.requests_per_second * 2
            )
            output.append(f"        burst: {burst}")

Beispiel:

routes:
  - path_prefix: /api
    rate_limit:
      enabled: true
      requests_per_second: 100
      burst: 200

Generierte Middleware:

middlewares:
  api_service_router_0_ratelimit:
    rateLimit:
      average: 100  # Requests pro Sekunde
      burst: 200    # Burst-Kapazität

4. Authentication

Traefik unterstützt Basic Auth nativ, JWT nur in Traefik Enterprise.

Basic Authentication (gal/providers/traefik.py:361-377):

# Basic auth middlewares
for service in config.services:
    for i, route in enumerate(service.routes):
        if route.authentication and route.authentication.enabled:
            auth = route.authentication
            if auth.type == "basic":
                router_name = f"{service.name}_router_{i}"
                output.append(f"    {router_name}_auth:")
                output.append("      basicAuth:")
                output.append("        users:")
                if auth.basic_auth and auth.basic_auth.users:
                    for username, password in auth.basic_auth.users.items():
                        # htpasswd-Format erforderlich
                        output.append(f'          - "{username}:$apr1$..."')

JWT Authentication: Traefik Open Source hat keine native JWT-Unterstützung. Nutze Traefik Enterprise oder ForwardAuth Middleware mit externem Service.

Beispiel:

routes:
  - path_prefix: /api
    authentication:
      enabled: true
      type: basic
      basic_auth:
        users:
          admin: password123
          user: pass456

5. CORS

Traefik verwendet das headers Middleware für CORS.

Implementierung (gal/providers/traefik.py:379-409):

# CORS middlewares
for service in config.services:
    for i, route in enumerate(service.routes):
        if route.cors and route.cors.enabled:
            router_name = f"{service.name}_router_{i}"
            cors = route.cors
            output.append(f"    {router_name}_cors:")
            output.append("      headers:")
            output.append("        accessControlAllowMethods:")
            for method in cors.allowed_methods or ["*"]:
                output.append(f"          - {method}")
            output.append("        accessControlAllowOriginList:")
            for origin in cors.allowed_origins:
                output.append(f"          - {origin}")
            if cors.allowed_headers:
                output.append("        accessControlAllowHeaders:")
                for header in cors.allowed_headers:
                    output.append(f"          - {header}")
            if cors.allow_credentials:
                output.append(
                    "        accessControlAllowCredentials: true"
                )
            if cors.max_age:
                output.append(
                    f"        accessControlMaxAge: {cors.max_age}"
                )

Beispiel:

routes:
  - path_prefix: /api
    cors:
      enabled: true
      allowed_origins:
        - "https://app.example.com"
        - "https://admin.example.com"
      allowed_methods: ["GET", "POST", "PUT", "DELETE"]
      allowed_headers: ["Content-Type", "Authorization"]
      allow_credentials: true
      max_age: 86400

6. Timeout & Retry

Timeout Configuration (gal/providers/traefik.py:489-502):

# Timeout (serversTransport)
has_timeout = any(
    route.timeout for service in config.services for route in service.routes
)
if has_timeout:
    output.append("  serversTransports:")
    output.append("    default:")
    for service in config.services:
        for route in service.routes:
            if route.timeout:
                timeout = route.timeout
                output.append("        serversTransport:")
                output.append("          forwardingTimeouts:")
                output.append(f"            dialTimeout: {timeout.connect}")
                output.append(
                    f"            responseHeaderTimeout: {timeout.read}"
                )
                output.append(f"            idleConnTimeout: {timeout.idle}")
                break

Retry Configuration (gal/providers/traefik.py:411-422):

# Retry middlewares (route-level)
for service in config.services:
    for i, route in enumerate(service.routes):
        if route.retry and route.retry.enabled:
            router_name = f"{service.name}_router_{i}"
            retry = route.retry
            output.append(f"    {router_name}_retry:")
            output.append("      retry:")
            output.append(f"        attempts: {retry.attempts}")
            output.append(
                f"        initialInterval: {retry.base_interval}"
            )

Beispiel:

routes:
  - path_prefix: /api
    timeout:
      connect: 5s
      read: 30s
      idle: 300s
    retry:
      enabled: true
      attempts: 3
      base_interval: 100ms

7. Circuit Breaker

Traefik verwendet das circuitBreaker Middleware.

Implementierung (gal/providers/traefik.py:424-445):

# Circuit breaker middlewares
for service in config.services:
    if service.upstream and service.upstream.circuit_breaker:
        cb = service.upstream.circuit_breaker
        if cb.enabled:
            output.append(f"    {service.name}_circuitbreaker:")
            output.append("      circuitBreaker:")
            # Traefik verwendet expression syntax
            # z.B. "NetworkErrorRatio() > 0.30" oder "ResponseCodeRatio(500, 600, 0, 600) > 0.25"
            failure_ratio = (
                cb.max_failures / 100
            )  # Convert to percentage
            output.append(
                f'        expression: "NetworkErrorRatio() > {failure_ratio}"'
            )

Beispiel:

upstream:
  circuit_breaker:
    enabled: true
    max_failures: 5  # 5% failure rate
    timeout: 30s

Generierte Middleware:

middlewares:
  api_service_circuitbreaker:
    circuitBreaker:
      expression: "NetworkErrorRatio() > 0.05"

8. WebSocket

Traefik unterstützt WebSocket nativ ohne zusätzliche Konfiguration.

Implementierung (gal/providers/traefik.py:425):

# WebSocket support (native in Traefik)
if route.websocket and route.websocket.enabled:
    output.append("        passHostHeader: true")
    output.append("        responseForwarding:")
    output.append("          flushInterval: 100ms")

Beispiel:

routes:
  - path_prefix: /ws
    websocket:
      enabled: true
      idle_timeout: 300s

9. Header Manipulation

Traefik verwendet das headers Middleware für Request/Response Header Manipulation.

Request Headers:

middlewares:
  api_service_router_0_headers:
    headers:
      customRequestHeaders:
        X-Request-ID: "{{uuid}}"
        X-Gateway: "GAL-Traefik"

Response Headers:

middlewares:
  api_service_router_0_headers:
    headers:
      customResponseHeaders:
        X-Server: "Traefik"
        X-Response-Time: "{{timestamp}}"

Beispiel:

routes:
  - path_prefix: /api
    headers:
      request:
        add:
          X-Request-ID: "{{uuid}}"
          X-Gateway: "GAL-Traefik"
        remove:
          - X-Internal-Header
      response:
        add:
          X-Server: "Traefik"

10. Body Transformation

⚠️ Limitation: Traefik Open Source unterstützt keine native Body Transformation.

Alternativen:

  1. ForwardAuth Middleware mit externem Service: 

    middlewares:
  body-transformer:
    forwardAuth:
      address: "http://transformer-service:8080/transform"

  2. Custom Traefik Plugin (Go development erforderlich): 

    // traefik-plugin-body-transformer
package traefik_plugin_body_transformer

func (t *BodyTransformer) ServeHTTP(rw http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
    // Body transformation logic
}

  3. Alternativer Provider: Envoy, Kong, APISIX, Nginx, HAProxy unterstützen Body Transformation nativ.

GAL Verhalten (gal/providers/traefik.py:151-160):

# Body Transformation warning
if route.body_transformation and route.body_transformation.enabled:
    logger.warning(
        f"Body transformation for route '{route.path_prefix}' "
        "is not natively supported by Traefik. Consider using:\n"
        "  1. ForwardAuth middleware with external transformation service\n"
        "  2. Custom Traefik plugin (requires Go development)\n"
        "  3. Alternative provider: Envoy, Kong, APISIX, Nginx, HAProxy"
    )

11. Traffic Splitting & Canary Deployments

Feature: Gewichtsbasierte Traffic-Verteilung für A/B Testing, Canary Deployments und Blue/Green Deployments.

Status: ✅ Vollständig unterstützt (seit v1.4.0)

Traefik unterstützt Traffic Splitting nativ über Weighted Services.

Canary Deployment (90/10 Split)

Use Case: Neue Version vorsichtig ausrollen (10% Canary, 90% Stable).

routes:
  - path_prefix: /api/v1
    traffic_split:
      enabled: true
      targets:
        - name: stable
          weight: 90
          upstream:
            host: backend-stable
            port: 8080
        - name: canary
          weight: 10
          upstream:
            host: backend-canary
            port: 8080

Traefik Config (traefik.yml): 

http:
  routers:
    canary_deployment_api_route0:
      rule: "PathPrefix(`/api/v1`)"
      service: canary_deployment_api_route0_service
      entryPoints:
        - web

  services:
    # Weighted Service: 90% stable, 10% canary
    canary_deployment_api_route0_service:
      weighted:
        services:
          - name: canary_deployment_api_stable_service
            weight: 90
          - name: canary_deployment_api_canary_service
            weight: 10

    # Stable Backend
    canary_deployment_api_stable_service:
      loadBalancer:
        servers:
          - url: "http://backend-stable:8080"

    # Canary Backend
    canary_deployment_api_canary_service:
      loadBalancer:
        servers:
          - url: "http://backend-canary:8080"

Erklärung: - weighted.services: Weighted Service mit mehreren Targets - weight: 90: Stable Backend erhält 90% des Traffics - weight: 10: Canary Backend erhält 10% des Traffics - loadBalancer.servers: Backend URLs

A/B Testing (50/50 Split)

Use Case: Zwei Versionen gleichwertig testen.

traffic_split:
  enabled: true
  targets:
    - name: version_a
      weight: 50
      upstream:
        host: api-v2-a
        port: 8080
    - name: version_b
      weight: 50
      upstream:
        host: api-v2-b
        port: 8080

Traefik Config: 

http:
  services:
    ab_testing_service:
      weighted:
        services:
          - name: version_a_service
            weight: 50
          - name: version_b_service
            weight: 50

    version_a_service:
      loadBalancer:
        servers:
          - url: "http://api-v2-a:8080"

    version_b_service:
      loadBalancer:
        servers:
          - url: "http://api-v2-b:8080"

Blue/Green Deployment

Use Case: Instant Switch zwischen zwei Environments (100% → 0%).

traffic_split:
  enabled: true
  targets:
    - name: blue
      weight: 0    # Aktuell inaktiv
      upstream:
        host: api-blue
        port: 8080
    - name: green
      weight: 100  # Aktuell aktiv
      upstream:
        host: api-green
        port: 8080

Deployment-Strategie: 1. Initial: Blue = 100%, Green = 0% 2. Deploy neue Version auf Green Environment 3. Test Green ausgiebig 4. Switch: Blue = 0%, Green = 100% (Re-Generate traefik.yml, hot-reload) 5. Rollback bei Problemen: Green = 0%, Blue = 100%

Gradual Rollout (5% → 25% → 50% → 100%)

Use Case: Schrittweise Migration mit Monitoring.

Phase 1: 5% Canary 

targets:
  - {name: stable, weight: 95, upstream: {host: api-stable, port: 8080}}
  - {name: canary, weight: 5, upstream: {host: api-canary, port: 8080}}

Phase 2: 25% Canary (nach Monitoring) 

targets:
  - {name: stable, weight: 75, upstream: {host: api-stable, port: 8080}}
  - {name: canary, weight: 25, upstream: {host: api-canary, port: 8080}}

Phase 3: 50% Canary (Confidence-Build) 

targets:
  - {name: stable, weight: 50, upstream: {host: api-stable, port: 8080}}
  - {name: canary, weight: 50, upstream: {host: api-canary, port: 8080}}

Phase 4: 100% Canary (Full Migration) 

targets:
  - {name: canary, weight: 100, upstream: {host: api-canary, port: 8080}}

12. Request Mirroring

✅ Vollständig unterstützt - Traefik v2.0+ hat natives Request Mirroring

Feature: Traffic Shadowing/Mirroring für Testing, Debugging und Production Validation.

Status: Traefik unterstützt Request Mirroring nativ über die mirroring Service-Konfiguration (seit v2.0).

Native Mirroring Konfiguration

Traefik verwendet die mirroring Service-Konfiguration (keine Plugins erforderlich):

GAL Config: 

routes:
  - path_prefix: /api/v1
    mirroring:
      enabled: true
      mirror_request_body: true
      mirror_headers: true
      targets:
        - name: shadow-v2
          upstream:
            host: shadow-backend
            port: 8080
          sample_percentage: 100.0
          timeout: "5s"
          headers:
            X-Mirror: "true"
            X-Shadow-Version: "v2"

Generierte Traefik Config (Native Mirroring): 

http:
  routers:
    api_service_router_0:
      rule: "PathPrefix(`/api/v1`)"
      service: api_service_mirroring
      entryPoints:
        - web

  services:
    # Primary Service
    api_service_primary:
      loadBalancer:
        servers:
          - url: "http://api-primary:8080"
        healthCheck:
          path: /health
          interval: 5s
          timeout: 3s

    # Shadow Service
    shadow-v2_service:
      loadBalancer:
        servers:
          - url: "http://shadow-backend:8080"

    # Mirroring Service (Native Traefik Feature)
    api_service_mirroring:
      mirroring:
        service: api_service_primary  # Primary backend
        maxBodySize: 1048576           # 1 MB max body size
        mirrors:
          - name: shadow-v2_service
            percent: 100  # Mirror 100% of requests

Kernmechanismus

  • Fire-and-Forget: Mirror-Requests werden asynchron gesendet, Responses werden ignoriert
  • Keine Latenz-Impact: Mirroring blockiert nicht den Primary Request
  • Percent-based Sampling: 0-100% der Requests können gespiegelt werden
  • Body Mirroring: Optional mit konfigurierbarem maxBodySize (default: 1 MB)
  • Health Checks: Separate Health Checks für Primary und Shadow Backends

Beispiel: 50% Sampling

Use Case: Performance Testing mit Subset des Production Traffics

http:
  services:
    mirroring-service-50:
      mirroring:
        service: primary-service
        maxBodySize: 1048576  # 1 MB
        mirrors:
          - name: shadow-mirror
            percent: 50  # Mirror 50% of requests

Beispiel: Multiple Shadow Targets

Use Case: Mehrere Versionen gleichzeitig testen

http:
  services:
    mirroring-service-multi:
      mirroring:
        service: primary-service
        mirrors:
          - name: shadow-v2
            percent: 50  # 50% → Shadow v2
          - name: shadow-v3
            percent: 10  # 10% → Shadow v3

Hinweis: Traefik spiegelt kumulativ - im obigen Beispiel werden 50% zu v2 UND 10% zu v3 gespiegelt (insgesamt 60% der Requests werden dupliziert).

Deployment

# 1. GAL Config mit Mirroring erstellen
cat > config.yaml <<EOF
version: "1.0"
provider: traefik
services:
  - name: api_service
    routes:
      - path_prefix: /api/v1
        mirroring:
          enabled: true
          targets:
            - name: shadow
              upstream: {host: shadow-backend, port: 8080}
              sample_percentage: 100.0
EOF

# 2. Traefik Config generieren
gal generate -c config.yaml -p traefik -o traefik-dynamic.yml

# 3. Traefik starten (Static Config)
cat > traefik.yml <<EOF
entryPoints:
  web:
    address: ":8080"
providers:
  file:
    filename: traefik-dynamic.yml
    watch: true
EOF

# 4. Traefik starten
traefik --configFile=traefik.yml

# 5. Test
curl http://localhost:8080/api/v1
# → Responses kommen vom Primary Backend
# → Shadow Backend erhält gespiegelte Requests (fire-and-forget)

Features & Limitierungen

Feature Traefik Support Details
Native Mirroring ✅ Ja (v2.0+) mirroring Service-Konfiguration
Percent-based Sampling ✅ Ja percent: 0-100
Body Mirroring ✅ Ja maxBodySize konfigurierbar
Fire-and-Forget ✅ Ja Asynchron, keine Response vom Mirror
Multiple Mirrors ✅ Ja Mehrere Shadow Targets gleichzeitig
Health Checks ✅ Ja Separate Health Checks für Primary/Shadow
Header Injection ⚠️ Eingeschränkt Nur via Middlewares (nicht direkt im Mirroring)
Dynamic Reconfiguration ✅ Ja Hot-Reload via File Provider
Mirror-Responses ❌ Nein Responses werden ignoriert (by design)
Body Size Limit ✅ Ja maxBodySize (default: keine Limit, empfohlen: 1-10 MB)

Wichtige Hinweise:

  • ⚠️ Header Injection: Custom Headers müssen via separate headers Middleware hinzugefügt werden
  • ⚠️ Cumulative Mirroring: Mehrere Mirrors werden kumulativ angewendet (50% + 10% = 60% Traffic dupliziert)
  • ✅ Body Buffering: Bei maxBodySize wird der Body gebuffert (kann Overhead verursachen)
  • ✅ Logging: Mirror-Requests erscheinen NICHT in Access Logs (nur Primary Requests)

Best Practices

  1. Start Small: Beginne mit 5-10% Sampling für Production Testing
  2. Body Size Limit: Setze maxBodySize auf 1-10 MB um Memory Overhead zu vermeiden
  3. Health Checks: Immer für Shadow Backends aktivieren
  4. Monitoring: Überwache Shadow Backend Errors (werden nicht an Client weitergegeben)
  5. Gradual Increase: 5% → 25% → 50% → 100% über mehrere Tage
