Maximizing PHP 7 Performance with NGINX, Part I: Web Serving and Caching Introduction: How NGINX is Used with PHP PHP is the most popular way to create a server-side Web application, with roughly 80% market share. (ASP.net is a distant second, and Java an even more distant third.) The PHP universe includes a multitude of PHP frameworks; the most popular include Laravel, Phalcon, and Symfony 2.

How Buydig.com Scales and Secures Its Microsoft .NET App Without Changing a Single Line of Code Enhancing Security and Performance for a High Traffic E-Commerce Website with NGINX Plus     Situation Buydig.com is a fast growing e-commerce store with nearly 50,000 daily visitors – and even more during its peak shopping season.

Building a Web Frontend with Microservices and NGINX Plus Here at NGINX we’ve begun exploring the frontiers of microservices application development through our NGINX Microservices Reference Architecture, with a sample photo storage and sharing site as our prototype. This blog post is the first in a series of articles dedicated to exploring the real-world problems and solutions that developers, architects, and operations engineers deal with on a daily basis in building their web-scale applications. This article addresses an application-delivery component that has been largely ignored in the microservices arena: the web frontend. While many articles and books have been written about service design, there is a paucity of information about how to integrate a rich, user-experience-based web component that overlays onto microservice components. This article attempts to provide a solution to the thorny problem of web development in a microservices [ more… ]
