Some projects need documentation, some need cookbooks. Sounds like traefik is the latter.

Hopefully as an aside (I know very little about traefik so maybe I am talking about them too and don’t know it), it seems like in the time since I abandoned Java they have weaponized that architectural strategy and I have no patience for it. I look at that sort of documentation and my eyes glaze over. Or if they don’t I feel disgust or anger and all three result in my stomping off.

Opentelemetry, particularly the stats code (vs the span code) triggered a lot of this in me. It has several sets of documentation that say different things. It took me a long time to figure out how to connect the amorphous dots, and then I didn’t entirely agree with their solution anyway.
