>If there’s a reverse proxy in the front, one may just need business logic in the back.

I'm trying to imagine what that haircut would look like

Full disclosure: I haven't cut my hair in awhile. It may be influencing my architecture decisions at this point.

Walk into your nearest Hot Topic.

I am actively trying to remove apache from a large chunk of projects mainly because at this point it is being used as a poor reverse proxy and not a web server which is its core competency.

Actually, its reverse proxy implementation is quite capable and performant.

I run all my microservices and web sites in containers behind Apache. It's not required to use any specific reverse proxy, nginx is Russian made, like Jetbrains' products so Google pushes them and that's why under-educated milenials assume nginx is the only reverse proxy on Earth.

Why do you believe Google "pushes" Russian software? That seems odd.

I guess referring to conspiracy theories is one way of evaluating software.
