Editor's Notes
- #4: First a quick word about NGINX. Our technology powers over 440 million websites, including 70% of the ten thousand busiest sites, so it’s fair to say we have a pretty good understanding of servicing applications. A substantial number of them are served form google cloud.
- #6: What you might not know is that alongside our Opensource webserver we have also built an enterprise grade reverse proxy, webserver, loadbalancer called NGINX plus ## , which comes with additional features, better performance, plus enterprise grade support. We’ve extended NGINX plus ## with a number of companion products and integrations, some of which I’m going to talk about today.
