Every year, we at NGINX pause to do something incredibly important: We listen. From open source enthusiasts to enterprise customers, and from Platform Engineering professionals to DevOps engineers, your voices collectively shape the future of NGINX.
That’s why we’re thrilled to announce the launch of the 2025 NGINX User Survey! Whether you’ve been with us since the early days of open source or you’re newly discovering the power of NGINX, this is your chance to contribute to our roadmap – and score a gift card while you’re at it.
So, why should you take time out of your busy day to join us in this effort? Let’s explore why your perspective matters, what’s in it for you, and how your input could help us navigate the ever-evolving tech landscape, including the exciting world of artificial intelligence (AI).
Ready to help shape the NGINX roadmap? Take this year’s NGINX Annual Survey today.
Why Your Input Matters
NGINX doesn’t exist in a vacuum – it’s a solution engineered for innovators like you. Whether you’re building out a Kubernetes stack, fine-tuning load balancing for hyperscale traffic, or accelerating app delivery in serverless environments, your challenges, workflows, and aspirations guide us as we decide what features and capabilities to prioritize.
This year’s survey focuses on learning more about how you use NGINX, the tools and practices you rely on, and the specific challenges you face in rapidly changing landscapes like cloud-native infrastructure, microservices architectures, and now, the rise of AI-powered applications and operations.
We believe in creating solutions with you, not for you. Your answers help us tailor the NGINX ecosystem to better align with platforms, interoperability needs, and future trends. Every NGINX community member holds valuable insights. Together, we can build tools with greater performance, flexibility, and scalability for today and tomorrow.
AI Is Changing Everything. What Does That Mean for NGINX?
The rise of AI isn’t just a trend – it’s transforming how infrastructure is built, monitored, and optimized. From dynamic traffic routing to anomaly detection in real time, AI and machine learning are profoundly shaping everything from observability to automation. Companies are leveraging AI to boost availability, lower latency, and make data-driven decisions faster, more accurately than ever, and tools like NGINX are increasingly becoming the operational backbone for AI-powered systems.
We want to hear from you:
- Are AI workloads driving new needs for API delivery or load balancing in your organization?
- Are you using AI/ML tools to monitor and manage NGINX deployments?
- What features would help enable a seamless integration of NGINX with AI-driven workflows?
Your input will help us understand how you’re adapting to these seismic shifts and how NGINX can better support your journey into modern AI-driven operations.
Let’s Shape the Future Together
The tech world moves fast, and no one knows that better than the engineers, architects, and developers responsible for keeping it running. In a time of unprecedented innovation—from rising AI adoption to the ongoing shift toward distributed architectures and cloud-native paradigms – NGINX remains steadfast in our commitment to being your trusted ally in shaping what’s next.
Take the NGINX Annual Survey today and help us build the tools that matter to you most.
Your input isn’t just data to us – it’s a critical part of how we innovate and evolve together. Let’s tackle tomorrow’s challenges as a community, one feature request, one idea, and one survey response at a time.
