+# matrix-homeserver-proxy is a role which brings up a containerized nginx webserver which helps with reverse-proxying to the Matrix homeserver (Synapse, etc.).
+#
+# Certain services (like matrix-media-repo, matrix-corporal, identity servers, etc.) may need to capture some requests destined for the homeserver
+# and handle them instead of it.
+#
+# This role helps other services (bots, bridges, etc.) reach the homeserver in a way that:
+# - is not very direct, so as to allow for some routes (media repo, etc.) to actually go elsewhere
+# - is not via the public network and/or via HTTPS, which introduces major performance penalties
+#
+# Performance-wise, benchmarks show that:
+# - each local (container) nginx hop adds about a 200 rps penalty
+# - SSL termination (on the Traefik side) adds a 350 rps penalty
+# - going over the public network adds another 70 rps penalty
+#
+# It's something like this for an existing flow (which will be gone soon):
+# 1. public network, Traefik + SSL: 70 rps
+# 2. `matrix-nginx-proxy:8008`: 600 rps
+# 3. `matrix-nginx-proxy:12080` 850 rps
+# 4. `matrix-synapse-reverse-proxy-companion:8008`: 1000 rps
+# 5. `matrix-synapse:8008`: 1200 rps
+#
+# Traefik was additionally benchmarked to see where the slowness comes from. Results are like this:
+# 1. public network, Traefik + SSL: 70 rps
+# 2. local (container) network, Traefik + SSL: 150 rps
+# 3. local (container) network, Traefik without SSL: 500 rps
+# 4. `matrix-nginx-proxy:8008`: 600 rps
+#
+# It's obvious that minimizing the number of hops helps a lot and that not using SSL and/or the public network is important.
