I see so many posts and people who run NGINX as their reverse proxy. Why though? There’s HAProxy and Apache, with Caddy being a simpler option.
If you’re starting from scratch, why did you pick/are you picking NGINX over the others?

Counter question: Why does everyone call it “engine X” and not “enjinx”, which would be the way cooler pronunciation?
Directly from the nginx home page:
nginx [engine x] is an HTTP and reverse proxy server, a mail proxy server, and a generic TCP/UDP proxy server, originally written by Igor Sysoev.
I call it N Jinx. Always have and I’ll never be convinced otherwise that it’s not.
I always did? A friend pointed out to me once the “correct” pronunciation. I like this way more.
oh I’ve only ever read it, never heard it pronounced, do people really pronounce it engine X?
That is the way it’s pronounced, yes.
It’s actually n-jynx duh
I always said “in GIN icks” (gin like the alcohol) based on someone else’s pronunciation years ago. I never realized it was meant to have anything to do with “engine” as a result.
Huh. That is way cooler
