From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'd love to see more on something like Envoy as the reverse proxy. I tend to think of reverse proxies in "generations":

  1. Apache and Friends
  2. Nginx and Buddies
  3. HAProxy and Pals
  4. Envoy and Associates

I'm rather familiar with 0-2 from my previous work. It's really a pity, to me, that nginx is favored so heavily over HAProxy as in all perf and HA testing that I've done has resulted in nginx being left in the dust. The benchmarks that I've seen for Envoy show similar standings. I just haven't spent the time yet to get familiar with it.
