Join this IDC-hosted webinar to learn how to increase resilience so your business can thrive in a post-COVID world.
Harnessing the Power and Convenience of JavaScript for Each Request with the NGINX JavaScript Module
The NGINX JavaScript module is a bespoke JavaScript implementation for extending NGINX and NGINX Plus functionality. We continually add new features and publish use cases that take advantage of them. The blog includes a complete use case list.
NGINX Announces Sponsorship of the OWASP ModSecurity CRS Project
NGINX, a part of F5, Inc., is pleased to announce that we have become the first Gold sponsor of the OWASP ModSecurity Core Rule Set (CRS) project. We look forward to working with the CRS team and helping ensure the CRS project’s long-term success.
Leveraging Beacon for NGINX Observability
With the F5 Beacon integrations for NGINX Plus and NGINX Open Source, you understand the entire application experience from end to end. Our SaaS offering ingests and displays telemetry data, and can perform synthetic health checks for added context and visibility.
Update: Using Free Let’s Encrypt SSL/TLS Certificates with NGINX
Learn how to use the Let’s Encrypt client to generate RSA certificates and automatically configure NGINX to use the newly issued certificates.
What Is Kubernetes?
Kubernetes is an open source container orchestration platform. It provides a complete platform for scaling and managing applications that are deployed in containers.
What Is a Container?
A container is a virtualization technology designed to create and support a portable form factor for applications. In other words, containers make it easy to deploy an application on a range of different platforms.
Deploying NGINX as an API Gateway, Part 2: Protecting Backend Services
In the second post in our API gateway series, Liam shows you how to batten down the hatches on your API services. You can use rate limiting, access restrictions, request size limits, and request body validation to frustrate illegitimate or overly burdensome requests.
Deploying NGINX as an API Gateway, Part 1
The advanced HTTP processing capabilities of NGINX and NGINX Plus make it the ideal platform for building an API gateway. We describe API use cases, show how to configure NGINX to handle them in a way that is efficient, scalable, and easy to maintain, and provide a complete NGINX configuration.
NGINX and HAProxy: Testing User Experience in the Cloud
We compare the reverse proxying performance of HAProxy and NGINX. Performance is similar until the request rate is large enough for HAProxy to hit 100% CPU utilization. At that point, its performance degrades significantly while NGINX continues to experience almost no latency.
