About

Apache Traffic Server is a fast, scalable, and extensible web proxy cache that improves performance by caching frequently accessed information at the edge of the network.

Nginx is a lightweight, high-performance open-source HTTP server and reverse proxy designed for handling large volumes of concurrent connections with low memory usage.

It supports serving static files, reverse proxying, load balancing for HTTP, TCP, and UDP traffic, SSL/TLS termination with SNI, HTTP/2 and HTTP/3, WebSocket proxying, response compression, and zero-downtime configuration reloads.
