I’m sure that when it was only Nginx and Apache for reverse proxy options it was the only way to go, however, these days for rev proxy, I prefer HAProxy for enterprise and Caddy for personal stuff..
- cyberpunk 5y agoI tend to use haproxy only in situations where I don't have access to a 'proper' load balancer (e.g, something which does tcp connection state failover and all that jazz); make it listen on lo0 on each client server, who then just talk to 127.0.0.1:whatever.. It does mean you are doing health checks from each client service/app, but it only eats a few mb of ram, and then you don't have to deal with making your haproxy service HA :}
- mholt 5y agoUse Caddy for enterprise stuff, too. Enterprise deployments deserve memory safety, too.
