SSL Termination for Martini Server Runtime

SSL termination refers to the process of decrypting SSL/TLS traffic at a designated point in your network, typically at a load balancer or reverse proxy, before forwarding the unencrypted traffic to your application servers. This approach offloads the computational overhead of encryption and decryption from the Martini Server Runtime, allowing it to focus on processing requests more efficiently. Common solutions for SSL termination include load balancers such as AWS Application Load Balancer (ALB) and configuring Nginx as a reverse proxy.

This section provides guidance on various methods to set up SSL Termination for your Martini Server Runtime, allowing you to choose the best approach based on your needs and environment.
