The Apache server has a number of advantages vs NGiNX (running in this

manner) and its all surrounding the integration to the IBM i OS. Being
able to understand the IBM i security, and file system, built in low level
Caching.

Could you expound on Apache's advantages? I know there are obviously some
that relate to spawning jobs for RPG-CGI, but are there technical
advantages in the case of scripting languages like Node.js?

Some of the existing OS integration points of Apache have caused me
headaches over the years (i.e. DCM and other IBM i specific changes) and is
one reason why I am flirting with nginx (nothing in production, yet).
