nginx is a reverse proxy. You're not meant to be running dozens of instances, you're supposed to stick one instance in front of a whole collection of application instances. Your nginx costs don't scale with your server load, they scale with your infrastructure complexity.

Nginx is a lot more than a reverse proxy, including a not too shabby static resouce host. In fact Netflix hosts their videos ultimately from Nginx.
