Plugins and Traefik Pilot

Traefik Pilot is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that connects to Traefik to extend its capabilities. It does this through plugins, which are dynamically loaded components that enable new features.

For example, Traefik plugins can add features to modify requests or headers, issue redirects, add authentication, and so on, providing similar functionality to Traefik middlewares.

Traefik Pilot can also monitor connected Traefik instances and issue alerts when one is not responding, or when it is subject to security vulnerabilities.
