Hi Bijuv, We use HAproxy because it excels at load balancing and can balance based on cookie values. We use Nginx as a static assets server and to gzip RESTful APIs responses. You could use Nginx to do all of this if you do not have complicated load balancing requirements. I think Nginx can handle websockets now.
