Introduction to Nginx

1. Introduction to Nginx

Nginx ("enginex") is a high-performance HTTP and reverse proxy server, as well as an IMAP/POP3/SMTP proxy server. Nginx was developed by Igor Sysoev for Russia's second most visited Rambler.ru site and released under a BSD-like license. Its characteristics are that it occupies less memory and has strong concurrency capabilities. In fact, nginx’s concurrency capabilities do perform better among web servers of the same type. Users of nginx websites in mainland China include: Sina, NetEase, Tencent, etc.
