NGINX Unit 1.25.0 through 1.28.0 introduce a statistics engine for observability, more contexts for using variables, enhanced support for X-Forwarded-* headers, and new syntax for the 'share' option.
Make Your NGINX Config Even More Modular and Reusable with njs 0.7.7
NGINX JavaScript module (njs) 0.7.7 makes it easier than ever to customize your NGINX configuration, with local declaration of JavaScript code, context-dependent behavior control, and a new FileHandle object.
The Future of NGINX: Getting Back to Our Open Source Roots
At NGINX Sprint 2022, we're focusing on our open source roots. Find out about the initiatives we're pursuing in the coming year and let us know what you'd like to see.
Announcing NGINX Plus R27
NGINX Plus R27 introduces keepalive connections for health checks, support for Kernel TLS, more TLS metrics, custom error codes for JWT validation failures, and more.
Announcing NGINX Plus R26
NGINX Plus R26 introduces faster JWT validation with JSON Web Key Set caching and hardened TLS handshakes for improved security. New NGINX JavaScript features include enhanced support for asynchronous functions and an implementation of the WebCrypto API.
Announcing NGINX Plus R25
NGINX Plus R25 introduces more sophisticated authentication use cases with JWT, JWS, and JWE; counts of individual HTTP status codes; dynamic certificate loading for mTLS with upstream servers; hardened security for HTTP request processing; and NGINX JavaScript enhancements.
Scaling MySQL with TCP Load Balancing and Galera Cluster
TCP load balancing of MySQL nodes in a Galera cluster takes advantage of NGINX Plus' advanced features, including high availability, health checks, logging, and monitoring. We also use NGINX JavaScript to extract the contents of request and response packets for logging the SQL method in each client request.
Announcing NGINX Plus R24
NGINX Plus R24 introduces support for encrypted JSON Web Tokens (JWE) and integration with F5 Device ID+. The NGINX JavaScript module reaches an important milestone with support for response filtering and use of HTTP-based authentication services for TCP/UDP connections.
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.
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.
