NGINX Plus R16 is a single, elastic ingress and egress tier for applications, consolidating the functionality of a load balancer, API gateway, and WAF with new features like cluster‑aware rate limiting, key‑value store, Random with Two Choices, enhanced UDP load balancing, and more.
This part of our series on deploying NGINX Plus as an API gateway - along with its other rich functionality - focuses on gatewaying gRPC services. gRPC is an alternative to REST APIs for building distributed applications, service mesh implementations in particular.
The "Deep Dive" track is a new feature at this year's NGINX Conf, with sessions by and for NGINX-savvy developers and DevOps experts. No high-level messaging, but plenty of practical information and curated code examples. Join us October 8–11 in Atlanta GA.
