Let me ask you this, most of the "premium" Nginx Plus features are specific to load balancing. You shouldn't need more than 2 or 3 load balancers right? I.E. load balancer in each availability zone or multiple regions? Beyond that use Nginx open source. This is exactly what I do.
- joshwa 11y agoInexplicably, explicit cache invalidation is only a Plus feature. (!!)
- nodesocket 11y agoBut you should cache at the highest level right? Where you terminate ssl?
- detaro 11y agoWhy wouldn't you use caching internally, between services? Only caching user-facing files is a very limited approach.
- skuhn 11y agoI get what you're saying, but now you have two divergent nginx releases to maintain. nginx plus isn't simply nginx with an extra module, it is closed source and on a separate release train. For instance, the last nginx plus release (R8) is based on nginx 1.9.9 (plus was released 40 days later). The previous is based on nginx 1.9.4 (plus was released 25 days later). It isn't a matter of life and death, but it is an annoyance and unnecessary. At least with Varnish Plus, it's still the same open source server with proprietary modules added in. I understand that nginx wants to go that route eventually, but they're hamstrung by the lack of dynamic module loading for the moment.
