Hello everyone. Ive frontend app running on localhost:3000, and my backend app runs on localhost:8080. I want to set up api gateway and mess around with it learn how it works and what can I do with it. I tried googling and searching youtube, but it seems that no one really can explain step by step what is going on under the hood. Its as always "Do this, this, and that, I dont know why, just trust me bro". So Im wondering if smb can help me out to set it up and explain, bc ive a couple of questions. Thanks in advance

Hi! I appreciate your enthusiasm to learn nginx, but your question needs a bit more detail to get great help. Here's what would strengthen it:
Add specifics:
- What OS are you using?
- What nginx configuration have you already tried? (share the config file)
- What specific errors or issues are you running into?
- What exactly do you want to understand? (routing? load balancing? request transformation?)
Show your work:
- Share your current nginx config attempt
- Describe what happened vs. what you expected
- List the specific questions you mentioned
Be concrete:
Instead of "explain how it works," ask something like: "Why isn't my frontend request reaching my backend?" or "How do I rewrite URLs in nginx?"
Once you add these details, you'll get much faster and more targeted help!
