How to best launch multiple servers?

[cerst]

I want to launch two servers, a public one for serving the regular traffic and a private one for serving metrics, health checks etc. The goal is restricting access as well as making sure that e.g. health checks aren't stuck in traffic.

As of now, my approach is basically this:

ntex::util::select(
  HttpServer::new(...).bind(...).run(), // public
  HttpServer::new(...).workers(1).bind(...).run(), // private
)
.await
:into_inner()

Q1) Is there a better (more efficient, ...) way to set up the two servers?
Q2) Is there an Ntex equivalent to Tokio's try_join? I don't think select is ideal but couldn't find something similar in the Ntex module.

there are two options:

1. bind different ports to different applications. this approach uses one set of workers and all workers handles traffic for all ports. for this option use server builder. here is example
2. second option is what you trying to use. in that case you should have two set of workers (worker per thread). you can use join or any other future combinator (ie futures crate)

Awesome, thanks!
