NGINX is web-server and proxy software commonly used to serve content and pass requests to application services.

What is it normally used for?

  • Web serving
  • Reverse proxying
  • TLS termination

  • Application fronting

How GRID EATER uses it

GRID EATER uses NGINX as a conventional web-server and reverse-proxy boundary for selected Hetzner services, including HTTPS redirection, TLS termination and controlled routing to application services.

Why this architecture mattersIt gives conventional server workloads a mature explicit network boundary instead of exposing application processes directly.
