Traefik FastProxy Experimental Configuration

Overview

This guide provides instructions on how to configure and use the new experimental fastProxy install configuration option in Traefik. The fastProxy option introduces a high-performance reverse proxy designed to enhance the performance of routing.

!!! info "Limitations"

Please note that the new fast proxy implementation does not work with HTTP/2.
This means that when a H2C or HTTPS request with [HTTP2 enabled](../../routing-configuration/http/load-balancing/serverstransport.md#opt-disableHTTP2) is sent to a backend, the fallback proxy is the regular one.

Additionnaly, observability features like tracing and OTEL semconv metrics are not supported for the moment.

!!! warning "Experimental"

The `fastProxy` option is currently experimental and subject to change in future releases. 
Use with caution in production environments.

Enabling FastProxy

The fastProxy option is an install configuration parameter. To enable it, you need to configure it in your Traefik install configuration

  fastProxy: {}
