Using a frontend web server with ChicagoBoss (unnecessary?)

[Matthew Mizrahi]

Hi List, 

I enjoy having some of the controls, configurations, and conveniences that are already available in web servers such as httpd and nginx. Are these available built into CB?

Does ChicagoBoss eliminate the need for a frontend web server? Wouldn't that bottleneck the performance of CB?

Thanks in advance,
Matt

The builtin web server is fast enough.  Cowboy has been tested with millions of concurrent connections.  It works.

CB has built-in webserver, actually you can choose from a list of few. But in some cases you may want to use nginx as a proxy for your requests. Those reasons may include
* support for http2
* additional apps running on same server, some of them may be written in other languages
* better configuration options of nginx
* architecture decision
