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.
Announcing NGINX Plus R23
NGINX Plus R23 introduces new features including health checks for backend gRPC servers, unprivileged installation, support for the OpenID Connect PKCE extension, finer-grained control over TLS connections, a new method of setting cookie flags, and NGINX JavaScript enhancements.
Diagnostic Logging with the NGINX JavaScript Module
We show how to use the NGINX JavaScript module to capture data about requests that cause errors, with enough details to be useful for debugging and troubleshooting, while not cluttering the log with this information about requests that didn't experience errors.
Announcing NGINX Plus R22
NGINX Plus R22 introduces new features including support for OCSP to verify certificate revocation for mutual TLS, use of multiple OIDC IdPs in a configuration, real-time tracking of request and connection limiting on the NGINX Plus dashboard, and NGINX JavaScript enhancements.
Announcing NGINX Plus R21
NGINX Plus R21 is more reliable and secure than ever, importing numerous bug fixes from NGINX Open Source. New variable support in gRPC proxying extends dynamic, API‑driven routing policies to gRPC workloads, and the NGINX JavaScript module has been enhanced, particularly with respect to subrequests.
Just One POST: Enabling Declarative DNS with F5 and the NGINX JavaScript Module
In this solution, we use NGINX Plus's active health checks and key-value store to track and store application status across multiple sites, and NGINX JavaScript to update DNS records maintained by BIG-IP DNS and DNS Load Balancer Cloud Service, based on the status information.
Over-the-Air Updates to IoT Devices with NGINX
One of the biggest challenges in scaling deployments on the Internet of Things is device management, particularly over-the-air updates, commonly called OTA. Guest blogger DeveloperSteve shows how to automate OTA using NGINX as an API gateway, along with the NGINX JavaScript module.
Announcing NGINX Plus R18
NGINX Plus R18 introduces dynamic loading of SSL/TLS certificates, enhances our OpenID Connect reference implementation, and supports port ranges for virtual servers. It also includes enhancements to the key-value store, health checks, NGINX Plus clustering, and the NGINX JavaScript module.
