Reverse proxy is like a butler for your web apps. You ask for something, and it fetches it for you without you ever seeing the kitchen (aka your actual server).
Why use it?
- Stops direct attacks
- Balances traffic if you have multiple servers
- Can even do A/B testing
HAProxy is another solid option if you need something lightweight.
