Here’s a real-world example for proxy server vs reverse proxy:
- Proxy: You use it to watch Netflix from another country.
- Reverse Proxy: Netflix uses it to handle millions of requests without crashing.
For your team, a proxy is probably enough. But if you’re building something scalable, reverse proxy is the way.
NGINX is my go-to for reverse proxy.
