1 What is Nginx

Nginx, pronounced "engine-x,"


is a versatile and high-
performance open-source
web server and reverse proxy
server. Originally created to
solve the C10k problem
(handling 10,000 concurrent
connections), Nginx has
evolved into a powerful
solution for a wide range of
web serving tasks.
2 Key Features

-> Load Balancing: Distributes the


request coming to multiple servers.

-> Reverse Proxy: Forward the requests


to another port no. (Helps in hiding port)

-> SSL/TLS Configuration: Secure the


connection with HTTPS requests

-> Caching: cache the static content


and improves site speed
3 Server Config

Server running on port 80 with domain name


example.com and whose static html file is present
in root path
4 Load Balancing

Two servers are running and the requests will be


distributed among them. The Algorithm use is
Round Robin Algorithm (default)
5 SSL Configuration

The server is running at 443 port and the location


of the SSL certificate and SSL certificate key are to
be given as shown
6 Reverse Proxy

The server request to port 80 will now be


forwarded to google.com which means

domain.com -> google.com


6 Caching files

By using proxy_cache we can cache the requests


and whenever the same request is called multiple
times nginx cache it
