A brief look at the new Kamal Proxy replacing Traefik

Kamal is a simple deployment tool built around Docker containers. While Docker itself has a Swarm mode allowing for more robust deploys, Kamal keeps things simple by running the containers with straightforward docker run calls. But starting and stopping containers this way comes without their automatic replacement. Kamal needs a way to handle zero-downtime deployment for web containers so it originally incorporated Traefik.
