Nginx Blogs
Nginx (pronounced "engine-x") is a powerful, open-source web server software, also used as a reverse proxy, HTTP cache, and load balancer. Known for its high performance, stability, simple configuration, and low resource consumption, Nginx has become a popular choice for high-traffic websites. It was originally created by Igor Sysoev to solve the C10K problem (handling 10,000 concurrent connections). Nginx uses an asynchronous, event-driven approach to handling requests, which enables it to scale effectively on minimal hardware. It excels at serving static content and can also act as a proxy server for dynamic content processed by other servers like PHP, Python, or Node.js. Nginx is widely used for tasks such as SSL/TLS termination, content compression, and as a front-end proxy for microservices architectures. Its modular architecture allows for extending its functionality through various modules. Many large-scale websites and platforms, including Netflix, Dropbox, and WordPress.com, rely on Nginx for their web serving needs.
