What Is nginx?

nginx is a high performance Proxy and HTTP web server. nginx's enhanced performance benefits are derived from its use of asynchronous event-driven architecture as opposed to a threaded model. This, in addition to high concurrency, makes it possible for nginx to handle requests with a minimal memory footprint. This makes nginx a great web server solution for both large and small amounts of traffic. nginx is a mature and fully documented solution making it easy for you to customize your configuration to your needs. Developers also use nginx as a reverse proxy server for HTTP, HTTPS, SMTP, POP3 and IMAP.

nginx has grown to the point where it now powers over 50% of the web's busiest sites! Trust nginx with the growth and performance of your own site!

nginx History

Russian software engineer Igor Sysoev was seeking a solution to the C10k problem. This problem was a result of networks not being able to handle a large number of clients simultaneously. This was largely a result of trying to fill the needs of Russian search engine Rambler, which was serving a half billion requests each day (as of 2008). That's why he began development of nginx in 2002. It was released to the public in October of 2004. The company is based in San Francisco, while being legally incorporated within the British Virgin Islands.

In July of 2011, Sysoev and software developer Maxim Konovalov launched nginx Inc. A few months later in October, nginx, Inc raised $3 million in venture funds.

In February 2012, nginx launched commercial support for companies making use of nginx. Paid nginx Plus (featuring a load balancer, web server, session persistence, configurations via API and health checks built on top of nginx) subscriptions became available in August 2013. The available support includes notifications about large nginx changes, nginx updates and security patches.
