Angie – Drop-In Replacement for Nginx
- jsiepkes 3y agoIt's an OSS NGINX fork which implements some of the NGINX stuff which is only in the paid version (metrics, dynamic DNS updates for upstream servers, etc.).
- alanwreath 3y agoanyone have any experience with this? This is the first time I'm seeing this!
- ChrisArchitect 3y agoSome backstory and expanded description of what Angie is from last October: Angie: A New Nginx Fork Developed by Some of Its Former Devs https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33421096 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33421096
- mdaniel 3y agoThey also seem to be tracking upstream(?) changes https://github.com/webserver-llc/angie/commit/20da8e2aa0027065fa8b290b4a3664620de9d264 https://github.com/webserver-llc/angie/commit/20da8e2aa00270... (it's BSD-2-Clause if that interests you)
- CableNinja 3y agoHow is this different from or better than Openresty? And, is it capable of handling openresty/nginx plugins?
- bithavoc 3y agoI think OpenResty uses Lua to implement advanced features not available in Nginx core. Angie aims to implement non-core features in C without Lua.
- CableNinja 3y agoIm pretty torn on this. One the one hand, having to recompile every time i add a module, is a damn burden, and exactly why i dont use nginx beyond out of the box. On the other, C performance is much better than Lua.
