[Question] Sidekick vs haProxy/NGiNX #55

Hi, just curious of the difference between sidekick and haProxy/NGiNX. It looks like sidekick still runs in front of the minio cluster just as haproxy would. It does have a S3 cache which is nice

Sidekick should be used for application side load balancer, its not meant to replace nginx/haproxy
