curious what are the performance characteristics here? I would assume something like Nginx that has been optimized over a longer period of time / a more specific use case would have non-negligible performance benefits at scale?

Not everything needs to be at “scale”. I’ve deployed this pattern over 10k req/sec but it’s all about your SLOs. I’ve (thankfully) never needed to lose sleep over a millisecond or 2 in my line of work.
