Ask HN: What's the state of the art for reverse proxies?
Had a friend ask me how to replace an nginx RP to support 'canary percentages' and server names on the backend (instead of IPs). I had no idea what to say.
I've never worked with an RP I would recommend. (haproxy was the standard 2 years ago when I touched this last but powerful config languages turn me off).
Any insight from the community?
- stray 10y agoHe wants to replace nginx? Or does he want something like: https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/modules/domain_resolve/ https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/modules/domain_resolve/ and https://github.com/Telefonica/nginx-canary https://github.com/Telefonica/nginx-canary ?
- awinter-py 10y agoThese were useful, thanks. Friend ended up going with haproxy -- didn't feel comfortable operating 3rd-party code in their core infrastructure.
