How would you rather the devs generate revenue?
- heipei 3y agoI'm just daydreaming here, completely understand they have a business to run and they probably thought long and hard about which features to put into which license. No criticism intended, just something that eventually might catch up on them if another http server/proxy can offer everything that nginx does plus the missing items.

- cpuguy83 3y agoRedHat provided an entire platform that you pay support for... including supporting nginx. How can nginx (the company) replicate the same thing? Pay for the features you want. You will be better off for it. Expecting every company to follow the RedHat model is unsustainable.

- hawk_ 3y agobecause they sell Plus.
- mardifoufs 3y agoOh, I thought their only product was plus and I didn't realize that the comment was referring to something else! Which proves the point the comment was making very well!! So from what I understand, they also sell regular ngnix support
- re-thc 3y agoI know of companies that buy Plus just for the support and don't even use the Plus features.
- Gigachad 3y agoWhat support and services do you actually need though. This would create a perverse incentive to make the software more complex and unreliable and then selling the resources to fix it for you. Vs just actually selling the software and having it work flawlessly with minimal work.
- SteveNuts 3y agoHave you ever worked in a large enterprise? They always want support for stuff like this. Always
