Hipache vs node-http-proxy: What are the differences?

What is Hipache? A distributed HTTP and websocket proxy. Hipache is a distributed proxy designed to route high volumes of http and websocket traffic to unusually large numbers of virtual hosts, in a highly dynamic topology where backends are added and removed several times per second. It is particularly well-suited for PaaS (platform-as-a-service) and other environments that are both business-critical and multi-tenant.

What is node-http-proxy? A full-featured http proxy for node.js. node-http-proxy is an HTTP programmable proxying library that supports websockets. It is suitable for implementing components such as proxies and load balancers.

Hipache and node-http-proxy can be primarily classified as "Load Balancer / Reverse Proxy" tools.

Hipache and node-http-proxy are both open source tools. node-http-proxy with 10.3K GitHub stars and 1.54K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Hipache with 2.25K GitHub stars and 264 GitHub forks.
