# NGINX

> Web server, reverse proxy, and load balancer for applications and APIs

NGINX is an open-source web server and reverse proxy for delivering websites, applications, and APIs. It can serve static files directly, forward requests to application servers, and distribute traffic across multiple backends. Content caching helps reduce repeated work, while TLS support enables encrypted connections. Developers configure routing and server behavior through text files, with modules providing additional capabilities.

Its event-driven architecture is designed to handle many connections efficiently. Teams use NGINX to place a common entry point in front of services, apply access rules and request limits, and manage HTTP, TCP, or UDP traffic. Configuration changes can be reloaded while existing requests finish processing. The core software is distributed under a permissive BSD license.
