What is nginx/nginx?
NGINX is a high-performance web server and reverse proxy that handles HTTP, HTTP/2, and HTTP/3 traffic, along with mail and TCP/UDP proxying capabilities. Developers use it to serve web content, load balance traffic across servers, cache responses, and secure connections with TLS/HTTPS. It's lightweight and efficient, making it a common choice for production deployments ranging from simple web hosting to complex distributed systems.
