[kamal-proxy](https://github.com/basecamp/kamal-proxy) is a custom minimal proxy designed specifically for Kamal. It has some advantages over Traefik: 1. Imperative deployments - we tell it to switch from container A to container B, and it waits for container B to start then switches. No need to poll for health checks ourselves or mess around with forcing health checks to fail. 2. Support for multiple apps - as much as possible, configuration is supplied at runtime by the deploy command, allowing us to have multiple apps share a proxy without conflicting config. 3. First class support for Kamal operations - rather than trying to work out how to make Traefik do what we want, we can build features directly into the proxy, making configuration simpler and avoiding obscure errors
