Question - Nginx vs Zuul as an API micro service proxy

[lukestephenson]

The nginx website outlines how netflix use nginx as an API micro service proxy. https://www.nginx.com/blog/building-microservices-using-an-api-gateway/

Zuul is described as a front door for all requests, which I interpret to mean it’s suitable as an API micro service proxy.

So what is the boundary between what netflix use zuul for vs nginx?

Thanks

I did not see such a reference in the article. We do not use nginx as the gateway for our control plane.

@NiteshKant Thanks for responding. A bad assumption on my behalf that because of the Netflix mentions on the nginx blog, that Neflix was using nginx as their microservice gateway.

No worries! Closing the issue.
