Yes, because:
1. It's popular and well understood.
2. It's included in the distribution and enjoys security fixes.
3. It's included in the distribution and shipped with good SELinux profile.
4. Since I use it to explain reverse proxy, I don't have to go into explaining new syntax (and people don't have to learn two different tools just for the sake of it).
Most people will prefer the reasons above to a better performance in theory (in theory, because I doubt NGINX will be your bottleneck).
- errcorrectcode 5y agoPopularity != most suitable. Might as well advocate LAMP, Java, JS/Node, and Mongo too. It will be a bottleneck for anything real. Plus, it's old and doesn't do what Envoy does. Nginx isn't a full-featured, live-reconfigurable L7 ingress RP. It's a toy.
