I don’t really care think there is a general case for all servers. For the minimal case you don’t need it, but in production (with a single host) it allows for rolling releases, compression, TLS, fast static file serving, potentially A/B testing capabilities. The layer of indirection between the request and your server can be very useful. |

I mean for me this is pretty much already enough of a reason to always put an rp ahead of my apps. It's requires minimal setup, most of the tools are fire and forget so I see no real downsides. But having the ability to just point it somewhere else, or to split traffic across app replicas, is more than enough.
