The article suggests &amp;quot;a heavily loaded NGINX‑based streaming media server&amp;quot; as the type of situation where it makes sense.</text></comment>

Unless you&amp;#x27;re trying to serve tons of little static object with either no resource or big scale then there are better places to spend your time optimizing.</text></comment>
