Nginx Overview

This document describes how to properly adjust OS parameters, NIC interrupts, Nginx configurations, and process deployment on a Kunpeng server to ensure load balancing and achieve optimal performance in Nginx physical machine scenarios.

Nginx is a lightweight web server that can be used as a reverse proxy server and email (IMAP/POP3) proxy server. It features low memory usage and high concurrency capability. Nginx supports FastCGI, SSL, virtual hosts, URL rewrite, Gzip, and extension of many third-party modules.

The Nginx performance varies depending on the hardware, operating system (OS), and software in use. It is also affected by the design of each subsystem, algorithms used, and compiler settings.
