Editor's Notes
- #8: NGINX Plus gives you all the tools you need to deliver your application reliably. Web Server NGINX is a fully featured web server that can directly serve static content. NGINX Plus can scale to handle hundreds of thousands of clients simultaneously, and serve hundreds of thousands of content resources per second. Application Gateway NGINX handles all HTTP traffic, and forwards requests in a smooth, controlled manner to PHP, Ruby, Java, and other application types, using FastCGI, uWSGI, and linux sockets. Reverse Proxy NGINX is a reverse proxy that you can put in front of your applications. NGINX can cache both static and dynamic content to improve overall performance, as well as load balance traffic enabling you to scale-out.
- #10: NGINX is event-driven, asynchronous, multi-process, and singe threaded.
- #13: Half of the top 10,000 We’re now the number one web server for the top 100,000 as well, and climbing fast in every category.
- #18: Who would have thought that a site being slow and down would be national news, and require site developers to testify before Congress?
- #21: Flawless application delivery is… Fast page and screen loads Continuous uptime Secure applications Resiliency in the face of both high traffic and attacks A customer experience that matches the best applications in the world It used to be that only the biggest, most well funded brands in the world saw flawless app delivery. But with cloud infrastructure and open source software, anyone can get there. So what does it take?
- #26: Rate Limiting Example: Limit rate of login requests Bandwidth Limiting Limit bandwidth to client streaming video Connection Limiting Limit simultaneous clients to a resource
- #27: Rate Limiting Example: Limit rate of login requests Bandwidth Limiting Limit bandwidth to client streaming video Connection Limiting Limit simultaneous clients to a resource
- #35: NGINX Plus is a software alternative to high cost hardware load balancers. It can be installed on commodity hardware or on a VM. NGINX Plus has all the features you need to scale monolithic applications: A complete L4-L7 load balancer with all the features you expect such as: session persistence, health checks, and a variety of load balancing algorithms for both HTTP and TCP applications. A content cache that can store both static and dynamic content. Caching helps improve overall performance and reduces load on application servers. A web server than can directly serve static content
- #36: Microservices have been made famous by companies like Netflix and Amazon. They’re applications grew too big to be deployed as a single monolith and the decision was made to decompose the application into smaller services, each of which exposes an API that other services can consume.
- #37: Microservices solves a lot of problems but also brings in a whole set of new challenges. With a monolith there is a single endpoint for clients to interact with, in a microservices architecture there is no single entry point. To solve this problem, NGINX Plus acts as an “API Gateway” to glue the services together and give clients a single endpoint to interact with. As as API Gateway, NGINX Plus provides a number of benefits: Security – NGINX can protect your microservices application from DDoS attacks and can also authenticate requests to ensure people are only accessing the services they are allow to access. Request Routing – NGINX Plus knows where all your microservices live and can appropriately direct clients to them based on the URI Optimization – NGINX can cache responses from services or even serve static content directly to reduce overall load on services Scalability – With NGINX Plus you can add and remove microservice instances without your end users ever experiencing a failure
- #38: NGINX Plus combines a web server with a load balancer, content cache, and media server into a high performance application deliver platform.
- #41: NGINX Plus extends NGINX with advanced features such as health monitoring, session persistence, and an advanced monitoring interface. NGINX Plus is a complete application delivery platform.
