I see so many posts and people who run NGINX as their reverse proxy. Why though? There’s HAProxy and Apache, with Caddy being a simpler option.
If you’re starting from scratch, why did you pick/are you picking NGINX over the others?

Nginx scales better than Apache does for static content and proxying, so it started to take over market share.
A home gamer handling a handful of users is unlikely to ever notice a difference.
But the configuration for nginx is simpler nout of the box for most things which is probably the real reason people use it at home.
