Load Balancers
3 platforms
The platforms and tools I have run in this group, with how long I have run them.
Nginx
5 Years of Experience. Used in homelab and production environments across multiple projects.
AWS Application Load Balancer (ALB)
3 Years of Experience. Used heavily in production environments for HTTP/HTTPS routing, TLS termination, and service front-door patterns. ALB is excellent and has been a reliable part of my AWS stack.
Caddy
2 Years of Experience. Used in production as a reverse proxy and TLS edge. Automatic HTTPS and simple configuration make it easy to run and maintain with Ansible and config-as-code workflows. Here’s a link if you aren’t familiar. Great for when ALB is too much overhead.
