NGINX is the most popular web server with over 25% of the market share! In the words of the creators:

NGINX is open-source software for web serving, reverse proxying, caching, load balancing, media streaming, and more. It started out as a web server designed for maximum performance and stability. In addition to its HTTP server capabilities, NGINX can also function as a proxy server for email (IMAP, POP3, and SMTP) and a reverse proxy and load balancer for HTTP, TCP, and UDP servers.

It is a powerful tool and due to its popularity, it is difficult to find someone from the tech industry who never heard of it! This will be an introductory-level look at some features of NGINX. In this session you will learn:

how to configure NGINX as a web-server,
next, we will make it work as load-balancer
then configure it as reverse-proxy to a REST API
finally how to set it up as an API Gateway to multiple micro-services.
At the end of this session, you should know enough about basic functionality to start exploring more complex use cases!

We will provide an environment for you, so anything with the web browser from this century should be sufficient!
