alzuin11248y+1 for nginx, even if it lacks a lot of good load balancing functions in the free version

@alzuin I use an actual load balancer to balance traffic even though I have nginx

alzuin11248y@itsmill3rtime depends on the configuration: my setup is to have a dynamic DNS which balance the traffic over a couple of nginx in different datacenters. Each nginx does ssl offload and serves static content, but has also to balance the traffic for dynamic content between a lot of application servers. In this case the "upstream" directive of the free version lacks of some good functions like the URL/method to check or the timers: so I still have a load balancer (haproxy), but it's not on top of nginx but it is in the middle between nginx and the application servers. I don't use php, but I think you can do the same with php-fpm as application server... but this is not dev, it's "opsrant" 😂
