They indeed are shipping with really good libraries these days but no matter how good they are, there is some level of doubt that they fail to alleviate and they get deployed behind nginx or apache httpd anyway.
- sanderjd 11y agoIt seems more like they are deployed behind load balancers, because load balancing is a specific job that it makes sense to do with a separate piece of software. Admittedly, that separate piece of software is often nginx, but there are other popular options, and I don't think very many people use Apache that way (though I could be wrong).
- therein 11y agoI guess I should have said Apache Traffic Server rather than httpd. Their plugins and routing configuration is getting pretty enjoyable to work with.
- SSLy 11y agoEvery third telecom around the world uses apache to load balance requests for specific application. Source: I have to support that SW stack.
- sanderjd 11y agoInteresting, thanks for the info!
