By downloading the preview version, software developers and systems engineers will learn:
How to install NGINX
How to use NGINX as a software load balancer
How to setup NGINX as a reverse proxy for serving dynamic web applications
How to tune NGINX for optimal performance and scale
"Like most developers, O'Reilly Media books have been a regular part of my life, helping me learn and make the most of the amazing technology developed by my peers," said NGINX creator, Igor Sysoev, in his foreword. "Fast forward 10 years and the use of NGINX is remarkable. As of early 2015, we power 24% of all web servers and almost half of the world's busiest sites, and companies like Airbnb, Netflix, and Uber are using our software to invent the digital future. This book is another remarkable milestone in our history."
In its last partnership with O'Reilly Media, NGINX provided a free preview version of the book, "Building Microservices: Designing Fine-Grained Systems" by Sam Newman, which was downloaded more than 55,000 times.
