nginx vs. Apache HTTP Server vs. Cowboy

I don't have a strong preference between using Apache and nginx, but I find that the config files for nginx to be much more manageable.

The original API performed a synchronous Nginx reload after provisioning a zone, which often took up to 30 seconds or longer. While important, this step shouldn’t block the response to the user (or API) that a new zone has been created, or block subsequent requests to adjust the zone. With the new API, an independent worker reloads Nginx configurations based on zone modifications.It’s like ordering a product online: don’t pause the purchase process until the product’s been shipped. Say the order has been created, and you can still cancel or modify shipping information. Meanwhile, the remaining steps are being handled behind the scenes. In our case, the zone provision happens instantly, and you can see the result in your control panel or API. Behind the scenes, the zone will be serving traffic within a minute.

It's not Apache.

SSL and routing requests.

For serving static/cached files

Backend web server for Fastly. Serves font files and PHP.

This functions as our load balancer and traffic cop directing API and incoming requests to the correct component.

As a reverse proxy and static content server.

Used to be Apache, but configs, robustness and performance of nginx - obviously made sense.

Nginx is the webserver we use in front of the Unicorn application servers. We have multiple Unicorn workers for every application (depending on their performance requirements), and Nginx basically functions as a load balancer.

Our super-fast webserver.

Static web server

If you have a static site with us, it is served by nginx + palu-gateway.

Great for load balancing

The server is comprised of Varnish, Nginx & Apache it is SPDY and an excellent product.

Our webserver of choice. Fast, accurate, powerful, rock solid.

As web server to talk to PHP-FPM

1. Performant
2. Simple/easy-to-configure
3. Scalable
4. Free

Not many web servers can offer all four, but nginx can.

A solid front end server to the Django environment.

Front-end proxy and load balancer

Nginx is used to serve the site from within Docker via Passenger, as well as for error page and www to non-www HTTP redirects.

We are using NXING to server and cache static files and as a load balancer in front of our Apache webservers.

We switched from Apache to nginx for a speed boost, since we only need a light web server.

fast

We use nginx to serve all of our static files, and to load balance our multiple backends. Our nginx frontend servers are themselves load-balanced using a Linode NodeBalancer.

Needed for our micro services architecture and best to scale the whole system into docker containers in teh cloud.

Serving static files

Load balancer and proxy server

We use NGINX both as reverse HTTP proxy and also as a SMTP proxy, to handle incoming email.

We previously handled incoming email with Mandrill, and then later with AWS SES. Handling incoming email yourself is not that much more difficult and saves quite a bit on operational costs.

Allows us to run an Apache Webserver and a Node.js websocket server on port 80 on a single host

Webserver for static data.

nginx is frequently used in our web applications as a proxy that also servces a few static files or that adds some HTTP response headers, e. g. for client-side caching.

NGINX is quite possibly our favorite tool on the serverside, because of how easy it makes load-balancing. You just throw it in, tweak the config and boom, you're up and running in minutes.

Fast!

I use to prove web page service.

Reverse proxy supporting HSTS and Elliptic-Curve Diffie-Hellman key exchange for perfect forward secrecy - AWS ELB doesn't support the range of HTTPS optionsthat nginx does.

Node proxy

Web server and image CDN edge server.

Hosting provider stack

URL routing.

Nginx serves as the loadbalancer, router and SSL terminator of cloudcraft.co. As one of our app server nodes is spun up, an Ansible orchestration script adds the new node dynamically to the nginx loadbalancer config which is then reloaded for a zero downtime seamless rolling deployment. By putting nginx in front or whatever web and API servers you might have, you gain a ton of flexibility. While previously I've cobbled together HAProxy and Stun as a poor man's loadbalancer, nginx just does a much better job and is far simpler in the long run.
