The reverse proxy hides or shield’s the server instances from incoming traffic. The reverse proxy handles a stable endpoint at the start (before it receives a incoming request), so the client endpoint does not change. Reverse proxy handles the incoming requests and delegates it to the server instances, even though the server instances scales up or down or if any server node instances fail.
