Só, nginx is a freemium webserver ($2500 IIRC, the open source community edition deliberately withheld features like hot reload of configs, not sure of current status wrt versions features parity etc.)

It can also serve as a proxy server, but we already have the finest proxy server in the world as open source: HAProxy

I urge anyone to learn it’s admittedly obscure but simple config file switches and be amazed at how many layers this software can operate on.

When you really need to performance tune your frontend in real-time, you will appreciate HAProxy and what it offers.

After using HAProxy at work, I’ve been trying to slowly move my personal setups to using it. The config is a bit weird to learn, like nginx, at first but it really is performant.

Until you used Caddy?

Absolutely not. We can pay HAProxy for support.
