I have been using nginx since forever for all my personal projects. I cannot say I have missed any feature not in opensource edition. In fact, I didn't even know they had a premium edition for a long time.
What killer feature do normal projects require that is not in opensource edition?
- SteveNuts 9y agoper-vhost metrics is the big one for us. We're not going to pay $2,500 just to get them though. If you enable the stub status, that gives you metrics for the master process and not any of the virtual hosts.
- lebinh 9y agoI wrote something out of our need for better monitoring/metrics for Nginx here: https://luameter.com/ https://luameter.com/ And quite a few people are using it for per-vhost metrics use case just like you said. Also if you prefer something simpler and open source I also wrote this https://github.com/lebinh/ngxtop https://github.com/lebinh/ngxtop

- vbtechguy 9y agoI've had basic nginx vhost stats in my Centmin Mod LEMP stack installer for ages - not as detailed but works https://centminmod.com/nginx.html#vhoststats https://centminmod.com/nginx.html#vhoststats. Using nginx module https://github.com/vozlt/nginx-module-vts https://github.com/vozlt/nginx-module-vts and TLS v1.3 works fine for me too https://community.centminmod.com/posts/48818/ https://community.centminmod.com/posts/48818/
