Nginx

Nginx is used to handle static content and proxy all other requests to the website module. It also handles most of the web security as a SSL/TLS front-end and more generally as a hardened attack surface.

Nginx is easily capable of handling 100+ https connections per second per cpu core (on fairly old and weak hardware, at that). It is unlikely to be the performance bottleneck.
