Nginx

The front door of your server: it handles HTTPS, serves your images and scripts directly, compresses what it sends, and passes the real work on.

WHAT IT IS

In plain words

Nginx sits in front of everything and takes the first hit of all traffic. It terminates the HTTPS connection, serves images, styles and scripts itself, compresses what it sends, and forwards only the actual work to your application.

WHAT IT SERVES

What it does for you

Speed and stability. Static files never trouble your application, responses are compressed before they cross the network, and HTTP/2 lets a browser fetch many files down one connection.

It is also what keeps the site polite under pressure: a burst of traffic queues at the front door instead of knocking the application over.

WHY WE USE IT

What it gives your system

  • HTTPS, HTTP/2 and compression handled at the front
  • Images, styles and scripts served without touching the app
  • Steady under sudden bursts of traffic
  • Long cache lifetimes for files that never change
  • One place to route the website, the API and the dashboard
