NGINX Unit Description

A universal web server that combines multiple layers of the typical application stack into one component. NGINX Unit simplifies web app and API application stacks by combining multiple layers into one component. NGINX Unit is a universal Web App Server, designed to be used as a building block for any web architecture, regardless of its complexity. It can be used from enterprise-scale deployments to your pet’s home page. It can be used to simplify modern microservices environments, as well as modernizing monolithic and legacy applications. NGINX Unit was developed by the original NGINX team using an open-source codebase. This architecture is based on over a decade of experience with the most popular web server in the world. NGINX Unit uses a multiprocess, multi-threaded architecture, unlike the NGINX webserver. NGINX Unit is often used as a reverse proxy to web applications. The NGINX Unit can run the code natively.

Envoy Reviews
Envoy
On the ground, microservice practitioners quickly realized that the majority of operational issues that arise from moving to a distributed architecture are rooted in two areas: networking as well as observability. It is a much more difficult task to network and troubleshoot a collection of interconnected distributed services than a single monolithic app. Envoy is a high-performance, self-contained server with a small memory footprint. It can be used alongside any framework or application language. Envoy supports advanced load balance features such as automatic retries and circuit breaking, global rate limit, request shadowing, zone load balancing, request shadowing, global rate limiting, circuit breaking, circuit breaking, and global rate limiting. Envoy offers robust APIs to dynamically manage its configuration.

Caddy Reviews
Caddy
Caddy simplifies your infrastructure. It handles TLS certificate renewals, OCP stapling and static file serving. Kubernetes Ingress is also included. Because it is modular, you can do more with one static binary that compiles on any platform. Caddy is great for containers, as it doesn't require dependencies (not even libc). Caddy can be used almost anywhere. Caddy automatically renews TLS certificates on your sites and obtains them. It even staples OCSP replies. Its innovative certificate management features are the best in their class. Caddy is written in go and offers greater memory security than servers written in C. It also has a hardened TLS stack powered with the go standard library that serves a large portion of all Internet traffic. Caddy is both an efficient, flexible static file server and a powerful, scalable, reverse proxy.
