Introducing Dynamic Modules in NGINX 1.9.11
Today we released open source NGINX version 1.9.11, with a new feature that we believe will have a huge impact on how you use NGINX and NGINX Plus: dynamic modules. With dynamic modules, you can optionally load separate shared object files at runtime as modules – both third-party modules and some native NGINX modules. The new implementation maintains backward compatibility with the module API as much as possible. The next NGINX Plus release (NGINX Plus R9) will build on this dynamic modules feature. We plan to establish a managed modules repository with a range of third-party modules that we have tested and certified against NGINX Plus, making it easier for you to add common extensions to NGINX Plus with confidence. If you would like to have your open source or commercial modules included in our repository, please reach out to us through the Contact Sales [ more… ]
