Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use it for mostly host websites or anything that needs to be host. So we have our on-prem server where we host ourselves.

Pros

Apache and engines are both. So I do like to use engines better. I'm using it from the college, so I prefer to use that one as it is open source.

Cons

As it is open-source, I would like a box there, to fix those issues, and report to us so that we can install the updated version. So apart from that, I haven't faced anything but looks good.

Likelihood to Recommend

It's well suited as I already mentioned. So basically one of the best hosting tools I use, so I would like to use that one feature also.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used it to allow our internal applications to be accessed by the Internet, this allows the application to be securely accessed through public networks since we secure the https access through public certificated issued by our organization. It simplifies the management of apps published to the Internet.

Pros

Secure application access.
Easy to implement.
OS flexibility.

Cons

Configuration management
Automatic updates

Likelihood to Recommend

Well served as a proxy reverse, we implemented in our environment to secure access by not exposing the app server directly to the Internet. As the product is really oriented, I don't see where it could be less oriented for. I think is well suited for load balancing the application access through proxy reverse, but this feature I haven't tested yet.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use NGINX as a reverse proxy to protect internal applications and to implement web APIs, which allows us to securely connect end users, apps and other systems with our back end systems. The NGINX servers are easily deployed in our DMZ, they run reliably and use very little resources. I definitely recommend NGINX.

Pros

reverse proxy
public and secure REST API

Cons

The setup under Windows server could use a GUI

Can't get a better backend load balancer than nginx

Rating: 9 out of 10

April 3, 2023

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Most of our applications are container based and load balanced. Having multiple servers in the backend is challenging and using an external load balancer makes you lose control of the mechanics. That is where NGINX comes into picture. We create config files on our EC2 instances and control how the load balancer functions via NGINX

Pros

Load balancer
Load sharing
Web server
Reverse Proxy

Cons

Community support is limited

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited for web server hosting, load balancing, using reverse proxy to point to an alias. I don't think we can leverage it fully on windows
