使用Nginx + node.js的最佳实践

Question

I'm deploying a light game server using nginx + node.js on AWS Beanstalk, and this just came to me: is it better to deploy multi nodes behind nginx?

Let's assume I have three routers (functions) in node server application right now: FuncA, FuncB and FuncC, they are all in one node which means listening on one port, considering node.js is single process which should be very low performance.

So my question is should I deploy them as three node applications, each one listen on individual port, and let nginx to do the load balance work. Am I right?

Thanks, Yi

If you're deploying to Beanstalk, you already have an Nginx instance that sits out in front of each instance of your application. It's built into Beanstalk. And then, there is a load balancer in front of those. No need to add anything else.
