Highlights

Run by over 15% of all Internet domains, NGINX became a standard tool to build fast, scalable web sites.

Coming from the software world NGINX offers a unique blend of a "web server" and a "software ADC", featuring most of the web acceleration and application delivery capabilities typically found only in expensive networking appliances. For system operations and developers NGINX offers freedom of choice and complete end to end control over heavy lifting of HTTP.

Fully supporting HTTP/1.1, SPDY/2, WebSocket, FastCGI, uwsgi and SCGI protocols NGINX allows to connect users to popular applications like WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Magento etc. hosted on the same server, or on the network for improved performance and greater scalability.

Because of its compact and predictable memory and CPU usage, NGINX is extremely popular web software for use in all types of cloud environments, serving already over 45% of web sites hosted on Amazon's AWS.

NGINX enables easy integration with application frameworks like Node.js, Rails, Django, JBoss or Zend. Substituting or complementing legacy application server configurations with NGINX enables you to scale up a web site without unnecessary hardware purchases.

NGINX is a key software component of modern distributed web architectures at Netflix, Pinterest, CloudFlare, Airbnb, WordPress.com, GitHub, SoundCloud, Foursquare, Zynga, Eventbrite, NASA/JPL, Amazon, Zappos, Media Temple, Heroku, RightScale, Engine Yard, ZenDesk and many other companies.
