Nginx is an open-source web server that also functions as a reverse proxy, load balancer, and HTTP cache. It is designed for high performance and stability, handling a large number of concurrent connections with low resource usage.
About Nginx
Nginx was created in 2004 by Igor Sysoev to address the C10k problem, which involved handling 10,000 concurrent connections. It gained popularity due to its high performance, scalability, and efficient use of resources.
Strengths of Nginx include high performance, scalability, low resource consumption, and robust load balancing capabilities. Weaknesses involve a steeper learning curve and limited support for certain advanced features compared to competitors. Competitors include Apache HTTP Server, Microsoft IIS, and LiteSpeed.
