Overall Satisfaction with Nginx
We use Nginx as a load balancer and as a reverse proxy for all of our web services. We use it to serve NodeJs applications, REST APIs and Angular front.
- Great community
- A lot of documentation available
- High-performing
- Easy to configure
- Cache static assets
- Multi-threaded support
- A user-friendly UI console to test some configurations in a test server
- Our web servers are more efficient in memory
- Finely configured, latency is very low.
- Unlike Apache server, few manual restarts are required
We were happy to drop Apache to serve our applications.
