Cloudflare creates own Reverse Proxy replacing Nginx

Cloudflare has created its own reverse proxy, replacing Nginx with a in-house built proxy called Pingora built using Rust. This was built due to poor connection pool resource allocation in Nginx at Cloudflare's scale which resulted to slower TTFB(Time to first byte). After the migration, connection reuse ratio improved; as a an example Cloudflare quoted "increased the connection reuse ratio from 87.1% to 99.92%, which reduced new connections to their origins by 160x. To present the number more intuitively, by switching to Pingora, we save our customers and users 434 years of handshake time every day" Cloudflare blog:
