I really enjoyed this book. It covers excellent examples and demonstrates in a technical manner just how powerful Nginx can be. The configuration examples with Django taught me multiple techniques to maintain security and keep my service running in optimal conditions.

Nginx is one the most used Webserver platforms to date. It can be used in a variety 0f ways: Load balancing, caching and even as a reverse proxy.This book gives you the foundation needed to understand and setup Nginx servers. The authors took their time and broke down the configuration syntax and setup strategies.Also complimenting the exposure of Nginx is the introduction to PHP and python applications, and fastcgi ,these go hand in hand and the book does a good job of explaining how they all work together.As mentioned earlier, Nginx can play the role of load balancing and reverse proxy and the book goes into details on setting up Nginx to function in those roles.Also the authors went into details on managing Nginx servers in a cloud environment using docker. If your new docker they have you covered.This is a great book for those who manage web infrastructure and use Nginx. You won’t regret it.
