They are not alone – other massive web properties have found that software implementations of ADC functions (including historically hardware‑intensive capabilities like SSL/TLS cryptography) have proven to be more than fast enough for their workloads. We recently published an NGINX Sizing Guide based on the results from a range of tests measuring the performance of NGINX Plus on bare-metal servers. In this article, we compare those [ more… ]
