I'm having trouble thinking of a web stack where you can't set up a reverse proxy either via Nginx colocated with the frontend web server, through any of the usual suspects for termination (e.g. CDNs or load balancers), or worst case scenario, through the frontend web server itself.
Can you share any examples?
- jakub_g 5y agoI'm not an expert because I only work on front-end but scale ops folks in my prev job had their reasons. We had legacy www http/1 monolith and api http/2 geodistributed in the cloud. Making the two go through the common proxy wouldn't probably make sense and/or would be quite expensive.
