Out of interest how beefy are the servers you are using to run nginx ? We're looking at it for a deployment and I'm wondering if you had any tips about whether it's a particularly RAM or CPU-hungry beast ?
- jbyers 17y agoWe have single-processor 4GB AMD 1216 and 1354s running nginx. Neither one goes above 20% CPU while doing a few hundred req/s. If we were doing a lot more SSL the picture might change, but nginx seems very efficient.
- whyleyc 17y agoThanks - very helpful to know. One follow-on question - you mention you use 2 machines, is this in a failover capacity or do you use another piece of hardware/software to balance in front if nginx ?
