Nginx as the Frontline has been my policy since forever. For resilience, HA, proxy routing, static files, masking backend errors, caching. Does HTTP+S and 2 and Websocket so nicely. Nginx all the things.

One thing I've found lacking in Nginx is active health checks. I know this is a feature in Nginx Plus, but I'm curious to know if there are any elegant open source solutions for this.

HAProxy does health checks. Might not be worth adding that inline for your needs but it does a good job of load balancing.
