I vaguely recall Nginx being taken over (maybe just founders arrested?) by Russian officials at some point? Is Nginx open source enough where the community would notice any shenanigans Russia might do to compromise the integrity of Nginx? No important parts are black box binaries or anything?
- stefanos82 3y agoIf you feel insecure about NGINX, you can use OpenResty that bundles LuaJIT and help you push its limits even further.

All of the open source infrastructure for NGINX is maintained by F5 as a result, and work on NGINX is managed by Maxim Konovalov, an F5 employee. F5 moved all the developers they could from Russian offices to offices in the US, Dubai and Poland a while back. Edit: Also, at the time of acquisition, NGINX, Inc was headquartered in San Jose, California.
