    Looking at the H2O vs OpenLiteSpeed vs NginX benchmarks posted somewhere here in this Forum and a few comments/issues on H2O's GitHub repo by user @centminmod... I'm kinda torn between choosing H2O or OpenLiteSpeed as a reverse proxy which I'll use to also serve 20-30kB sized static files. A little insightful and technical advice would help.

    Nginx 1.17.x
    MariaDB 5.5/10.x
    What are you currently using ? I'd go with Nginx and in future Nginx Unit application server which has upcoming node.js support About — NGINX Unit which I want to eventually integrate Nginx Unit into Centmin Mod too Nginx - nginx's UNIT

    So until Nginx Unit is ready, use Nginx for reverse proxy. Though Nginx Unit can sit behind a Nginx reverse proxy too Integration with NGINX — NGINX Unit

    I'm now deciding on which to use, so I'm using nothing at the moment, just NodeJS file serving code (testing purposes only).
    But your benchmarks shows that NginX performs terrible when compared to H2O and OpenLiteSpeed... am I wrong?

    which benchmarks ? all benchmarks i have done show nginx was best none have shown h2o or openlitespeed beating nginx all the time. Maybe you misread the benchmarks ?

    edit: or you mean SSL - HTTP/2 - h2o vs OpenLiteSpeed vs Nginx SPDY/3.1 ? diff between h2o and nginx isn't much at all if you go by numbers of page load speed and that was with nginx and deprecated spdy/3.1 and not nginx's current http/2 implementation. I'd suggest Nginx as it's more stable and well known as well as future Nginx Unit support makes transition easier.

    But best to test all web server's reverse proxy implementations yourself for your own usage cases and decide as it also depends on how each are respectively configured.
