A reverse proxy is an intermediary server that sits between clients and backend servers, handling requests before they reach the actual backend infrastructure. It serves multiple critical functions including load balancing to distribute traffic efficiently, SSL termination to manage secure connections, caching to improve response times, and security filtering to protect backend systems. By placing reverse proxies at the entry point of traffic in large backend architectures, organizations can significantly enhance both scalability and security of their systems.

In back-end, what is the reverse proxy?
Clients usually don't directly talk to back-end servers. Often, requests first go through reverse proxy. Reverse proxy sits between client and the back-end servers. It can handle load balancing, SSL termination, caching, security filtering, and much more. This improves scalability and security. Large back-end architectures often place reverse proxies at the entry of the traffic.
