Its kind of a \"super reverse proxy\" like nginx, but specific for docker services.
From web page:
TraefikEE (Traefik Enterprise Edition) runs on the edge of your platform to route the traffic to your applications.
By splitting responsibilities between two planes, TraefikEE follows the principle of \"Separation of Concerns.\" To ensure that sensitive information only runs on a closed and safe environment, the control plane is not exposed to the outside. As a result, any malicious action from external traffic will stay stuck in the data plane and your platform will stay safe. Moreover, TraefikEE only relies on encrypted communications between nodes, to add an extra layer of security.
