I looked into nginx as a replacement for Apache a few years ago and gave up because of the weird dichotomy between open-source nginx and commercial nginx. There seemed to be a lot of FUD about the OS version coming from the commercial people so I moved on. With the announcement a couple of days ago that the commercial nginx folks are embracing OS again I might take another look.

I didn’t know there was a commercial version. What are the advantages of using that over open source version?

  I wish I knew. Hence my comment about FUD. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32572153 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32572153

  The paid version (nginx plus) has a few additional features that you often end up needing/wanting (the dashboard for example, for ops users) in enterprise environments. For what its worth, I switched from nginx to Caddy years ago and haven't looked back - Caddy's built in support for LetsEncrypt and zero configuration for the most common reverse proxy scenarios is just too compelling to ignore now - the speed and ease with which one can throw up an SSL front end with valid letsencrypt cert is amazing.
