nginx (pronounced "engine X") is a lightweight web (HTTP) server/reverse proxy | ||
and mail (IMAP/POP3) proxy written by Igor Sysoev. | ||
Nginx (pronounced engine-x) is a free, open-source, high-performance HTTP | ||
server and reverse proxy, as well as an IMAP/POP3 proxy server. Igor Sysoev | ||
started development of Nginx in 2002, with the first public release in 2004. | ||
Nginx now hosts nearly 12.18% (22.2M) of active sites across all domains. | ||
Nginx is known for its high performance, stability, rich feature set, simple | ||
configuration, and low resource consumption. | ||
|
||
nginx has been running for more than three years on many heavily loaded Russian | ||
sites including Rambler (RamblerMedia.com). In March 2007 about 20% of all | ||
Russian virtual hosts were served or proxied by nginx. According to Google | ||
Online Security Blog nginx serves or proxies about 4% of all Internet virtual | ||
hosts, although Netcraft shows much less percent. | ||
Nginx is one of a handful of servers written to address the C10K problem. | ||
Unlike traditional servers, Nginx doesn't rely on threads to handle requests. | ||
Instead it uses a much more scalable event-driven (asynchronous) architecture. | ||
This architecture uses small, but more importantly, predictable amounts of | ||
memory under load. | ||
Even if you don't expect to handle thousands of simultaneous requests, you can | ||
still benefit from Nginx's high-performance and small memory footprint. | ||
Nginx scales in all directions: from the smallest VPS all the way up to | ||
clusters of servers. | ||

||
The sources are licensed under a BSD-like license. | ||
Nginx powers several high-visibility sites, such as Netflix, Hulu, Pinterest, | ||
CloudFlare, Airbnb, WordPress.com, GitHub, SoundCloud, Zynga, Eventbrite, | ||
Zappos, Media Temple, Heroku, RightScale, Engine Yard and NetDNA. |
