My backend servers run jetty, and currently I am using nginx that runs on port 80 to route traffic to the backend that runs on e.g. port 8081.
I also using nginx to serve the static files for the folder: /assets/ So all requests that have this folder do net get proxied to jetty on port 8081, but nginx servers the static files. If I use haproxy now, do I still need to run nginx to service static files or is this something haproxy can do just as effeciently? I'd rather reduce the # of services I have to manage :)
