Summary

NGINX sits in front of our Puma services. It provides a bit of protection between end users and puma workers to prevent saturation of threads.

Architecture

For Virtual Machines, this is deployed via our Omnibus package and runs as a service that recieves traffic.

For Kubernetes, this is deployed using the NGINX Ingress controller managed by our helm chart. https://docs.gitlab.com/charts/charts/nginx/
