Seesaw vs Traefik: What are the differences?
Developers describe Seesaw as "Google Open Source Load Balancer in Go". Seesaw v2 is a Linux Virtual Server (LVS) based load balancing platform. It is capable of providing basic load balancing for servers that are on the same network, through to advanced load balancing functionality such as anycast, Direct Server Return (DSR), support for multiple VLANs and centralised configuration. On the other hand, Traefik is detailed as "Load Balancer for Microservices". Træfɪk is a modern HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer made to deploy microservices with ease. It supports several backends (Docker, Swarm, Mesos/Marathon, Kubernetes, Consul, Etcd, Zookeeper, BoltDB, Rest API, file...) to manage its configuration automatically and dynamically.
Seesaw and Traefik belong to "Load Balancer / Reverse Proxy" category of the tech stack.
Seesaw and Traefik are both open source tools. It seems that Traefik with 23K GitHub stars and 2.36K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Seesaw with 4.8K GitHub stars and 456 GitHub forks.
