# matrix-synapse-reverse-proxy-companion is a role which brings up a containerized nginx webserver which helps with reverse-proxying to Synapse when workers are enabled.
#
# When Synapse is NOT running in worker-mode, reverse-proxying is relatively simple (everything goes to `matrix-synapse:XXXX`).
# In such cases, using this reverse-proxy companion is possible, but unnecessary - it's one more service in the stack, which also impacts performance a bit.
#
# When Synapse workers are enabled, however, the reverse-proxying configuration is much more complicated - certain requests need to go to certain workers, etc.
# matrix-synapse-reverse-proxy-companion is the central place services that need to reach Synapse could be pointed to.
