Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use NGINX when building POC labs in Azure and AWS to demonstrate IaaS solutions. Both as a simple test web server or as a reverse proxy, depending on the specifics in the POC.

Pros and Cons

Works great to provide a test web page for cloud designing POCs

With the limited small usage we do with NGINX, its hard to say it needs any improvement for our purposes.

Alternatives Considered

Apache Tomcat

NGINX is faster to deploy and it has minimal setup needs for our POCs over Apache Tomcat
