I really wish Nginx didn't think it was so important to their business model to hold hostage the health check. That's a dealbreaker for me at their prices.

- dlecorfec 11y agoTake a look at Tengine, from Taobao. It's based on nginx.
- nikolay 11y agoIt is, just like OpenResty [0], but it lags severely behind recently - not sure why. Edit: Linked to Tengine in [1]. [0]: http://openresty.org/ http://openresty.org/ [1]: http://tengine.taobao.org/ http://tengine.taobao.org/
- druiid 11y agoThe Tengine module is available for compiling into the core nginx codebase. You just have to roll your own binary though https://github.com/yaoweibin/nginx_upstream_check_module https://github.com/yaoweibin/nginx_upstream_check_module
- nikolay 11y agoNginx, Varnish, etc. set criminal precedents by adding basic features to their paid offering. From cache purging to basic health checks - this arm-twisting ruins the experience! Instead of providing support and provide nice dashboards for paid users, they put the basics behind a paywall. I'm not sure how much they make from their Plus offerings, but I bet it's less than what Elastic collects in a much clever way!
