Load Balancing with Nginx

Nginx fronts your stack as a reverse proxy and load balancer — TLS termination, health checks, and traffic routing for backend and frontend services.

What Nginx does for you

A single piece of software handles three jobs that would otherwise need three pieces of glue: it terminates TLS, routes requests across backend replicas, and serves static assets fast.

What we configure

TLS with strong modern defaults (Mozilla intermediate profile, OCSP stapling)
Round-robin load balancing across backend containers with active health checks
Edge rate limiting on authentication endpoints
Proper proxy headers so your backend sees the real client IP
Auto-renewing Let's Encrypt certificates that survive restarts

The result: your application gets HTTPS, scales horizontally, and handles abuse — all from one config file.
