Using Nginx with Node.js as a Reverse Proxy brings a lot of benefits such as Load Balancing, SSL encryption, buffering, caching and much more. Let's learn why everyone uses it and why you should too.

Are you using a reverse proxy too? 🤔

Loving this video series , learning a ton from it . I'm a recent computer science graduate and I want to get more into system design . Your videos have been helping me so much

FYI: the action of serving https to nginx, but then http upstream, is called "SSL(or TLS) Termination", it's very common for edge or gateway like setups, also SSL communications is cpu intensive to encrypt all the traffic, so you just don't want that internally since it's a waste of resources

Thanks for the hint mate! Very useful ❤️

If you use Cluster API on a machine with 8 or 16 cores (which is more than enough for average project), you would have just one https server with built in load balancer.

Slowloris still to this day is one of the nastiest exploits in ddos. With proper configuration the right hacker can take down rather beefy servers with just one machine, no bot net, no hacker army DDOSing, just one machine with 1-4 slowloris scripts and its lights out and bills up

If you ever tried to build your app with Node.js Cluster API and did in a proper way, there is no way back to reverse proxy. It's amazing how many people who use RP are not even aware of Cluster API, I am glad that the author of this video at least knows about it. Cluster API can handle enterprise solutions, even some benchmarks show that Node.js is better than NGNIX. I just don't understand this attitude, if you can build something without external dependency or a service, why at least not try it? This is why we have microservices, because people don't understand the cost of bringing external dependencies into the system.

Thanks for your comment! I haven't used the Cluster mode in production yet, so wasn't able to give a direct comparison in the video 🙂

Good One, I liked you videos, I would love if you make custom video on nginx load Balancing using Nodejs, just like how enterprise loading balancing is done !!

I'll consider it, thanks for the idea! :)
