Nginx is a lightweight and high-performance web server and reverse proxy server widely used to serve web applications and websites.
It can handle thousands of simultaneous connections with minimal resource consumption.
For businesses, this means the ability to reliably serve large amounts of traffic, respond quickly to traffic spikes, and ensure website availability. Nginx is often used for load balancing, content caching, DDoS protection, and SSL termination.
Because of its modular architecture, Nginx is easy to configure for any task and integrates with most popular systems.
