Nginx

What is Nginx?

Nginx is a proven web server and reverse proxy known for its excellent performance. It receives incoming requests, routes them to the right services and reliably takes care of the encrypted connection. Its event-driven model handles thousands of concurrent connections with minimal memory, which is why it stays calm under load. Whether as a load balancer, a cache in front of a slow application or for serving static files, it quietly does its job in the background.
