NGINX Sprint 2.0: Clear Vision, Fresh Code, New Commitments to Open Source Each year at NGINX Sprint, we share our latest and greatest technologies. It’s the best part of the year! We unveil the fresh code and product versions we’ve created as we strive to make the everyday lives of our community and customers better. This year is a bit different, though. Of course, we’ll unveil new projects and products. More on that below. But I’d be remiss if I didn’t take a moment to step back and be explicit about the vision that guides our efforts. And most importantly, how that vision results in a set of commitments we want to make to our community. Adaptive Applications Are the Future Here at F5, our vision for the future is applications that adapt. What do we mean by “adaptive applications“? Think [ more… ]

Running Spring Boot Applications in a Zero Trust Environment with NGINX Unit p.indent { margin-left: 20px; } It feels like the word “security” is on everyone’s lips these days. It has never been easy to protect and secure applications, but running them in the cloud presents even more challenges. One concept that seems like a promising solution is “zero trust”, which Gartner defines as: …an approach where implicit trust is removed from all computing infrastructure. Instead, trust levels are explicitly and continuously calculated and adapted to allow just-in-time, just‑enough access to enterprise resources. But exactly how does “zero trust” work in a cloud context, and what technologies are available to help you implement it? In this blog, we’ll consider zero trust in the context of a common use case: You’re an insurance company with a varied set of APIs and [ more… ]

Updates to NGINX Unit for Summer 2021 Welcome to the latest installment in our series of blogs about new features in NGINX Unit! Admittedly, it’s been a while since we provided an update, so the time has come to share the details about our latest versions – NGINX Unit 1.23.0 and 1.24.0  – and explore how they make the life of an NGINX Unit enthusiast a whole lot easier. But first, some great news about our increasingly international team: two more developers, Oisín Canty and Zhidao Hong (洪志道), joined us this year, bringing with them lots of diverse expertise, some serious affection for NGINX Unit, and a major boost in overall productivity. Both have hit the ground running, coming up with a plethora of new features in mere months and participating in the design and development of the capabilities discussed below. Meanwhile, Andrei Suvorov, our next‑newest team [ more… ]

Securely Set DevOps Free with NGINX Modern Application Security By now, the concept of “DevSecOps” is familiar to just about everyone working in modern software development, with its promise to fundamentally strengthen application security as well as alleviate friction between DevOps and security teams. Under a DevSecOps model, security is shifted left and baked directly into the DevOps development and deployment process. In particular, security is embedded at every phase of the continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline to help identify security flaws earlier. Unlike traditional security models, DevSecOps places security at the heart of development, helping to identify issues closer to their point of origin, to reduce costly (and time-consuming) revisions and prevent vulnerabilities from reaching production. But despite the push towards DevSecOps, security teams still appear to be lagging behind the pace of DevOps. According to snyk’s DevSecOps Insights 2020 [ more… ]
