Features

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.[1]

Nginx uses an asynchronous event-driven approach, rather than threads, to handle requests.[2] Nginx's modular event-driven architecture can provide more predictable performance under high loads.[3][4]

Nginx default configuration file is nginx.conf.[5]

HTTP proxy and Web server features

Mail proxy features

Other features include upgrading executable and configuration without client connections loss,[18] and a module-based architecture with both core[19] and third-party module support.[20]

The paid Plus product includes additional features such as advanced load balancing and access to an expanded suite of metrics for performance monitoring.[21][22]

Linux Nginx Operation on systemd distributions

  • Verify/Test Configuration: nginx -t
  • Status: systemctl status nginx
  • Start: systemctl start nginx
  • Stop: systemctl stop nginx
  • Restart: systemctl restart nginx (See also: nginx -t)
