In our 2022 survey report, we explore the current state of the NGINX community when it comes to app and API delivery practices, technologies, and challenges.

We predict WebAssembly will be a major force in the future of adaptive apps because of features like multi-language support and fast load times.

For developers and DevOps, the future is now. Identify the technologies that will change your world.

The journey to cloud native doesn’t happen overnight. Learn how Kubernetes and NGINX can help as you start moving from monolithic to microservices-based apps.

Discover NGINX Gateway Fabric, our latest innovation for Kubernetes! Learn how this major release aligns with the Kubernetes Gateway API to enhance and standardize service networking.

More and more organizations, including the U.S. government, are recognizing the need for Zero Trust security. ZT is particularly important for distributed environments like Kubernetes. Follow our seven practical guidelines to implement ZT more easily and effectively.

Our 2021 survey of the NGINX community reveals that two-thirds of you are using Kubernetes in production or planning to deploy within a year. But you’re also concerned about your level of knowledge and the complexity, security, and scalability of Kubernetes itself.

With profound gratitude for his contributions to both F5 and the Internet at large, we announce that Igor Sysoev, author of NGINX and co-founder of NGINX, Inc., is retiring to spend time with friends and family and work on personal projects. Спасибо, Игорь.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

NGINX Unit 1.23.0 and 1.24.0 introduce support for the SNI extension to TLS, definition of OpenSSL configuration commands, MIME filtering and path restrictions for static content, and multiple Python scripts in one app. Also, you no longer need to modify Node.js apps to run them in Unit.

Not just another variant in the ever-growing set of “X-Ops” practices, Platform Ops is a way to balance developer freedom and corporate compliance for technology teams across the enterprise, helping you achieve digital transformation with the right blend of shifted left and buttoned down.

Research shows that many prefer live streaming to recorded video, blogs, and other media. Join NGINX Content Manager Marco Martinez for a backstage tour of how he creates live-streamed content at NGINX. We welcome your input on what you want to see on the NGINX live stream.

Preview the seven demos presented by the NGINX team on August 24 at NGINX Sprint 2021, our annual virtual event. We show how NGINX solutions accelerate just about every step in your app development journey, from deploying the first reverse proxy to launching a service mesh.

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.
