Nginx

Nginx is a powerful open-source HTTP web server known for its exceptional performance, stability, and low resource consumption. Originally created by Igor Sysoev, it efficiently handles massive concurrent connections through an event-driven architecture. Beyond basic web serving, Nginx functions as a reverse proxy, load balancer, and content cache to optimize website delivery. Its lightweight design makes it ideal for high-traffic sites, while commercial support is available through F5, Inc. Distributed under the BSD license, Nginx powers millions of websites worldwide with reliable, fast content delivery.
