Case Study: Vaudoise Insurance achieves agile, secure microservices modernization with Traefik Enterprise from Traefik Labs

How Vaudoise Insurance Deployed Traefik Enterprise to Successfully Modernize with Microservices

Vaudoise Insurance, one of Switzerland’s largest private insurers, faced mounting technical debt from monolithic systems that slowed feature delivery and forced heavy cross-team coordination. With about 150–200 IT staff supporting some 300 applications, the company adopted Docker Enterprise and Docker Swarm to modernize with containers and microservices, but needed a dynamic, secure ingress solution that didn’t require restarts and met strict regulatory and uptime requirements. Vaudoise selected Traefik Enterprise from Traefik Labs to address this publishing and networking gap.

Traefik Labs implemented Traefik Enterprise to provide out-of-the-box high availability, centralized HTTPS/encryption, RBAC integration with Docker UCP, and enterprise support. This allowed Vaudoise to secure and manage Docker Swarm ingress traffic, speed and simplify service deployments, and give developers greater autonomy (for example, managing rewrite rules themselves). The result was faster time-to-delivery, reduced operational coordination, and a more production-ready container platform—while positioning Vaudoise to adopt features like TCP/UDP support, service mesh, or a move to Kubernetes in the future.
