Survey Results Are In: The Future of Application Development and Delivery Late last year, we invited members of the NGINX community to share their take on the current state of application development and deployment and where it’s likely to go in the future. We heard from more than 1,800 of you – including developers, application architects, system administrators, DevOps professionals, and CIO/CTOs, in organizations of all sizes and with varying levels of experience in the industry. We’re now delighted to share the results of that survey with you. Thank you so much to everyone who took the comprehensive survey. Because of your input, we know that the future of application development and delivery is now, that containers and microservices are hitting the mainstream, and much more. Take a look at the findings and let us know what you think! .dockernet-blog-cta [ more… ]

This article describes how to configure NGINX and NGINX Plus to implement an HSTS policy. What is HSTS? HTTPS (SSL and TLS) is an essential part of the measures to secure traffic to a website, making it very difficult for an attacker to intercept, modify, or fake traffic between a user and the website. When a user enters the web domain manually or follows a plain http:// link, the first request to the website is sent unencrypted, using plain HTTP.
