Nginx Web Server
Nginx is a high-performance web server, load balancer, and Reverse Proxy. If that sounds like techno-babble, then we can “just sort it out” for you.
Deep Expertise
When we first started using Nginx in the mid-2000s, it was recently open-sourced and kind of obscure. Fast-forward to today, it’s now the leading web server on the internet, with documentation much easier to find.
Performance
Nginx was designed for high-volume web traffic, prioritising performance and stability. Hence it’s load balancing and reverse-proxy features.
A load balancer directs incoming network traffic to multiple servers, allowing your website or application to scale
A reverse proxy sits infront of web applications as a layer providing improved performance and security
An internal proxy, allowing users to access your on-site services with clean addresses like http://service.mycompany.co.nz rather than something ugly like http://192.168.0.234:8088
Nginx can also be used for media streaming, caching, or an email proxy
Depending on your circumstances, we might recommend other options such as using AWS load-balancers or Cloudflare.
