Pingdom: Where do you think nginx will be in 5 years?
Sysoev: I really have no idea.
Although this statement sounded negative at first, it is actually brilliant. Rather than defining a cast-in-stone development plan, focus on what the market is going to be asking from you as you go along and code it.
- plaes 17y agoWell, nginx started because Apache devs didn't want to address the issue that arised when lots of users with slow connections were accessing the site. Anyone else remember the Slowloris HTTP DoS - ngingx is basically immune to it... As Sysoev was working for one of the Russia's biggest portals that apache couldn't handle very well.. So he wrote a server that did one thing very well - waits until client submits their request and then serves this request as fast as possible. And he did it well :) Slowloris HTTP DoS - http://ha.ckers.org/slowloris/ http://ha.ckers.org/slowloris/
