Overview
NGINX (pronounced “engine x”) is a web server. It can act as a reverse proxy server for HTTP, HTTPS, SMTP, POP3 and IMAPprotocols, as well as a load balancer and an HTTP cache.
Released under the terms of a BSD-like license, NGINX is free and open source software.
NGINX can be deployed to serve dynamic HTTP content on the network using FastCGI, SCGI handlers for scripts, WSGI application servers or Phusion Passenger modules and it can serve as a software load balancer.
NGINX uses an asynchronous event-driven approach to handling requests, similar to Apache HTTP Server Event MPM model. Nginx modular event-driven architecture can provide more predictable performance under high loads.
NGINX on Cloud runs on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Azure and is built to provide a complete, fully-integrated and ready to run PHP, MySQL and NGINX development environment.
