NGINX Open Source 1.21.4 introduces support for kernel TLS (kTLS), which boosts performance by significantly reducing the need to copy data between user space and the kernel. We provide complete instructions for enabling kTLS in NGINX and share results of our performance testing.

Comparing NGINX Performance in Bare Metal and Virtual Environments
We compare NGINX performance in bare-metal and virtualized (hypervisor) environments, finding a small but measurable performance cost for hypervisors. We also find that performance in Kubernetes environments is worse for network-bound but not CPU-bound operations.
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.
Benchmarking API Management Solutions from NGINX, Kong, and Amazon: Do They Deliver APIs in Real Time?
Independent technical research firm GigaOm compared the performance of NGINX and several popular API management solutions. Their report validates NGINX as the only solution that helps you deliver APIs in real time. Read this summary blog and download the full report.
Testing the Performance of NGINX and NGINX Plus Web Servers
We analyze the results of performance testing for NGINX and NGINX Plus as a web server.
NGINX Plus Sizing Guide: How We Tested
NGINX and NGINX Plus get superior performance from standard hardware. This follow-up to our sizing guide tells you how to achieve the performance we quoted.
