How do I route some URL patterns to a specific port?

Question

I have a node server running on port 3000. I'll be using it to handle all my APIs, but I don't want the URLs to be in the format

example.com:3000/api/xyz

I want it to be in the format:

example.com/api/..

How do I route all /api/ calls to port 3000?

example.com will be serving HTML pages, which have nothing to do with node. Node will only be used for APIs for now. I found Varnish, but it looks like overkill.

An easy way is to put nginx in front of your node server.

You can setup nginx to serve static media based on url patterns. You can also register non-static requests to be sent to an upstream node.js server on port 3000

Node.js + Nginx - What now?
