I usually serve directly node.js too. whenever there websockets for example in
the middle.
Furthermore, SSL is becoming almost necessary, our applications handle
increasingly more information from users and when a project grows unsafe
versions can create big problems.
If we want to take advantage of SPDY protocol for example, we have to work
on SSL.
Also understand in the original question, performance matters.
The nginx configuration is simple, you can "tune" is something else, but:
server {
listen: 80;
server_name yoursite.com;
location / {
proxy_pass: http://127.0.0.1:3000;
}
}
And you happy.
apache just stay in time, but it was a great software in the past. BTW
apache + mod_php not be used for performance comparison, since in any case
the modern configurations using FastCGI.
Not to sound conservative, but I work with architectures medium / large. and
that the "front servers" work with nginx adds very many issues such as security
and failover and implementations of cache or antiseizure filters.
All this for only 20ms! Call now!
