NGINX Wants You! Join Us on the NGINXCommunity Slack You may have seen a recent blog post from Rob Whiteley, General Manager of the NGINX Product Group at F5, outlining the future of NGINX and how we’re getting back to our open source roots.

The Future of NGINX: Getting Back to Our Open Source Roots Time flies when you’re having fun. So it’s hard to believe that NGINX is now 18 years old. Looking back, the community and company have accomplished a lot together.

From Bloomberg terminals and news to the Washington Post to Slack to Airbnb [ more… ]
