Rewinding 2021: The Year’s Top 5 NGINX Videos
Despite any offline disruptions we all experienced during 2021, it was a fantastic year for video, livestreams, and webinars here at NGINX. We enjoyed great conversations with our community of users, customers, and partners, and took a look at trends and topics of interest in the world of digital transformation, app security, open source, DevOps, and Kubernetes.
In this blog post, we review the five video broadcasts that were most popular with our viewers over the past year, giving you a second chance to learn from our leading experts on current topics of interest. (You might notice that some videos first appeared in previous years – we like to think that means we’re ahead of the curve!) We hope you enjoy.

- Leverage the NGINX Plus live activity monitoring dashboard for real‑time tracking of key load‑balancing and performance metrics
- Export the metrics to Prometheus
- Create Grafana dashboards to view cumulative performance in time‑series graphs
