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.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.
