Migrating Dropbox from Nginx to Envoy
I feel so old now. There was a time, when I used to discuss with senior engineers @ Yahoo! to use NginX over Apache. Nginx was the hot thing, popularizing C10k [1]. Now in my current team, I have junior devs in my team pushing for Envoy over HAProxy&#x2F;Nginx setup.<p>Is this trend happening primarily because devs are pushing for GRPC over REST?  What benefits does Envoy offer over Nginx, if you&#x27;re still a REST based service. I am not fully convinced of operational overhead that NGINX brings.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;C10k_problem" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;C10k_problem</a>
