Hi there

We've some services that we need to scale horizontally and they use the  
HTTP entrypoints. Is there any advice how to run such nameko services in  
production behind Nginx?

Thanks

Nothing special. Just list your services as upstreams and let nginx  
load-balance traffic however you see fit.

Hi Matt

For us it was a little more involved, and maybe you have an alternative  
suggestion? Our dockerised services are all behind Kong - which under the  
hood uses Nginx - but we required Docker Swarm to fire up multiple  
processes and successfully route to them through Kong. So far so good!

Thanks for your help
