# Traefik 
Traefik is a smart tool that helps make sure your apps work well. It sits between your devices and the servers hosting your apps, like a traffic controller. It takes the requests from your devices and sends them to the right server, making sure everything runs smoothly.  
Traefik also balances the work across many servers, so not one server gets too busy. This helps your apps run faster and stay reliable, even when lots of people are using them.

Furthermore it is set up automatically to renew the wildcard certificate on 3-month schedule, this ensures it is always up to date.
