+# Proxies
+
+A standard proxy stands as a blocking layer between a client and a server. A
+client makes a request to a server but before it reaches it, it is intercepted
+by a proxy that reviews the request and decides whether to pass on to the
+requested location.
+
+As such, from the server's point of view, the request comes from the proxy not
+the client.
+
+An example application would be organisations who want to monitor or filter
+their employees web activities.
+
+A **reverse proxy** has the opposite orientation. It acts as buffer between a
+server and a client, filtering the requests that are sent to a server.
+
+This can also be for reasons of security, but most typically a reverse-proxy is
+used to manage requests to different services that a server is running.
+
+If a client requests `service-a.some-server/slug` the request is sent to the
+proxy operating at the root level, it siphons the request to its intended
+sub-service (`service-a`) and the port this service is running on.
+
+So, from the point of view of Service A, the request doesn't come from the
+external client but from the reverse proxy.
+
+In addition to directing traffic, reverse proxies can also implement load
+balancing: running procedures that ensure traffic is met at times of high
+capacity, ensuring that the server's resources are not exhausted.

+
+Both nginx and traefik are server technologies (along with Apache), nginx has a
+longer pedigree but traefik is calibrated for more modern microservice-based
+architectures (i.e Docker containers). nginx is better suited to traditional
+static web-based hosting.
+
+traefik has support for [HTTPS](HTTPS.md) natively whereas nginx requires a
+plugin.
