Using NGINX as an Object Storage Gateway
Deploying NGINX as a caching reverse proxy in front of Amazon S3 and S3-compatible object stores has two benefits: NGINX caches requests to your object store and prevents unwanted discovery of its contents. Get complete installation and configuration instructions.

Comparing NGINX Performance in Bare Metal and Virtual Environments
We compare NGINX performance in bare-metal and virtualized (hypervisor) environments, finding a small but measurable performance cost for hypervisors. We also find that performance in Kubernetes environments is worse for network-bound but not CPU-bound operations.

Defining a Modern App
What exactly do we mean when we talk about “modern apps”? We describe four key features that we believe an app must have to be modern — scalability, portability, resiliency, and agility — and six principles to guide development of your own modern apps.

Building Smaller Container Images
Small is beautiful when it comes to containers in test and dev environments: they take less time to build, use less memory, and have a smaller attack surface. We explore tools and provides instructions for building images that are a small as possible.

Running Spring Boot Applications in a Zero Trust Environment with NGINX Unit
NGINX Unit makes supporting HTTPS simple and completely application-agnostic, because encryption is applied at the level of the listener, not the application. No need to dig into language‑specific details! In this blog we illustrate HTTPS configuration for a Spring Boot application.

What Are Namespaces and cgroups, and How Do They Work?
Dive deep into two Linux features that underlie containers: namespaces and cgroups. They enable process isolation, ensuring that multiple processes running on a system don’t interfere with one another. Our NGINX Unit application server also uses them for application isolation.
