Overall Satisfaction with NGINX
Many [NGINX] servers are used across the organization to load balance and serve content before hitting our nodejs express rest api backends or our node react express frontends. It helps maintain uptime when we encounter strange deployment errors that can take out one of our servers. In my experience is has provided amazing throughput with very little configuration.

I have found that [NGINX] seems to perform better throughout the years with less issues although I've used Apache more. I would definitely recommend [NGINX] for any high volume site and I've seen this to usually be the case from most provided web hosts who will pick [NGINX] over alternatives
