At NGINX Sprint 2021, our teams are getting together to demo how NGINX accelerates just about every step in an organization’s app development journey – from deploying the first reverse proxy to launching a service mesh. Join us live on Tuesday, August 24 to watch seven demos and engage with the speakers via chat. Can’t watch live? Don’t worry – all the sessions will be linked from this blog (and available on our YouTube channel) after the event.

- Manage Apps and APIs at Scale
- Automate Application Security with NGINX
- Bring an Adaptive App to Life with Ecosystem Partners

Move from Initial Deployment to Enterprise Ready with NGINX
Before you can get your new application out the door, you need to ensure that it has what it needs to run well, stay up and available, and remain secure. Enter NGINX! Join this session to learn how to begin your application delivery journey with open source tools that start you on the right path. Then see how, when the time is right, it’s easy to transition to NGINX enterprise‑grade services with their advanced capabilities, and achieve visibility into all your deployed instances.
Featuring:
- Liam Crilly, Sr. Director of Product Management – NGINX
- Tom Gamull, Product Manager – NGINX

Manage Apps and APIs at Scale
Once you’ve deployed your NGINX instances, you need to deliver the self‑service and automation capabilities that enable your DevOps teams to deploy their apps faster. It’s also crucial to manage and secure all the APIs exposed by your apps. Join this session to learn how NGINX Controller helps you accomplish these objectives.

- Karthik Krishnaswamy, Director, Product Marketing – NGINX
- Ken Araujo, Principal Product Manager – NGINX
- Ken Bauernfreund, Senior Product Manager – NGINX
Automate Application Security with NGINX
Gone are the days when you could simply bolt on security late in the application delivery lifecycle. In today’s world, integrated security must become a normal part of any DevOps delivery pipeline. In this session, we demo how the NGINX App Protect WAF and DoS solutions integrate into your workflows without adding friction.

Bring an Adaptive App to Life with Ecosystem Partners
Modern application architectures and microservices can seem complex and hard to maintain, but that doesn’t have to be the case. This session provides an early look at our modern application architecture, which is easy to deploy on various infrastructure platforms and to scale out globally. We highlight partner technologies that have their roots in open source and are leaders in their spaces.
Featuring:
- Damian Curry, Community and Alliances Technical Director – NGINX
- Elijah Zupancic, Solutions Architect, Community and Alliances – NGINX
Build, Deliver and Visualize Your Kubernetes App
When you’re new to Kubernetes, your highest priorities are probably learning how to build microservices apps and get visibility into their health. Join this session to learn how to serve multiple polyglot apps with NGINX Unit and get insight into their performance with NGINX Ingress Controller.
Featuring:
- Amir Rawdat, Technical Marketing Engineer – NGINX
- Jenn Gile, Manager of Product Marketing – NGINX
Demo resources:
Master Microservices with End-to-End Encryption
When services in a Kubernetes environment exchange sensitive data like passwords and credit card numbers, you must implement end-to-end encryption so bad actors can’t access it. In this session, we show how to secure the edge with NGINX Ingress Controller, set up secure access control between services with NGINX Service Mesh, and use both products to secure egress traffic with mTLS.
Featuring:
- Aidan Carson, Software Engineer II – NGINX

Now Arriving: An Immersive Experience Built on NGINX Open Source
In 2020, major cities around the globe became epicenters for trial and perseverance. Learn how NGINX and Creative Technologist Ben Chaykin created the interactive art installation Now Arriving – using a modern application powered by NGINX Open Source, Arduino, AWS, React, and node‑based visual development platform TouchDesigner – to bring light back to their community. We hope to inspire you to do the same!
