Apache VS Nginix
Two of the most popular web server are Apache HTTP and NGINX
Today they power close to 50% or more of all website
NGINX is much newer compared to Apache
Apache developed in 1999
what is proxy ?
suppose : D: Any number of users’ home computers
E: This is a reverse proxy server
F: One or more origin servers
Typically all requests from D would go directly to F, and F would send responses directly to D. With a
reverse proxy, all requests from D will go directly to E, and E will send its requests to and receive
responses from F. E will then pass along the appropriate responses to D.
what is Load balancing
Load balancing - A popular website that gets millions of users every day may not be able to handle all of
its incoming site traffic with a single origin server.
Instead, the site can be distributed among a pool of different servers, all handling requests for the same
site. In this case, a reverse proxy can provide a load balancing solution which will distribute the incoming
traffic evenly among the different servers to prevent any single server from becoming overloaded.
