One observation: Nginx doesn't allow everything that Node does, limiting services exposed through it. For instance, Nginx can't handle streaming requests, requiring that the request ended before forwarding it to Node, which in our case made is opt for HAProxy. Not everyone has this case, but it was very important for us and sticking with Nginx would have had involved painful workarounds.
