Proxies and Reverse Proxies
A proxy acts as an intermediary between clients and servers. Reverse proxies provide load balancing, SSL termination, caching, and security at the edge.
The resources below cover Nginx, Envoy, HAProxy, API gateways, and forward vs reverse proxies. Each guide shows how to route and protect traffic with proxies.
Every resource includes clear explanations, copy-paste code, and practical warnings. Use them to make informed decisions, avoid production pitfalls, and speed up your delivery.
