We are using servers as web servers, and I redirect them to NGINX.

I use NGINX for load balancing, and I use the solution's Reverse Proxy to get different domains and certificates into our server.

NGINX Plus is a part of F5 and can be useful for customers with containers and terminals. Moreover, it's useful for businesses that need application delivery control and enterprise load balancing.

We have two to three use cases for the solution. The first use case is for our organization’s Base Server that is hosting the applications. The second is the load balancing and reverse proxy. The third use case is NGINX App Protect which we are using right now.

NGINX can be used for publishing services or as a replacement solution for web services, like Apache, and it can get updates from servers. We had a lot of attacks in the network, and most of them were based on Apache. About three years ago, we decided to go for a new solution. There are about 2,500 users in my company. Our company is an international company, and we're growing. We're going to hire 500 people in the next six months. It can be deployed on a private or public cloud.

The load balancer which is based on NGINX is used to protect our servers. The product works as a reverse proxy and we use some modes and smart security modules of NGINX for securing the web application as a web module.

I am a reseller. A lot of customers use this solution on cloud and on-premises. Typically, people use NGINX to build their own CDN solutions, so it often goes into CDN deployments. Most apps have NGINX OSS as the underlying base, whether they're cloud apps or on-premises apps. NGINX is the free version of NGINX Plus. F5 is now creating buzz in the market because if you migrate to NGINX Plus, you'll get a 30 minute response time from F5 or the NGINX team if you have any challenges with the solution, so that's an advantage. NGINX Plus can give you multiple features from a load balancing perspective. The standard NGINX OSS doesn't have that. There are about 400 million websites that run NGINX OSS. Since NGINX was an open source company until F5 acquired it in 2019, NGINX doesn't have a lot of paid products. In the last year and a half, the F5 and NGINX teams have started doing the sales pitch for people to upgrade to the paid version, like Red Hat, which has an open source version and a paid version. We're seeing good uptake, but I don't think they have been able to cover more than 10% of the user base. For most of the companies I have interacted with, 90% of them are using NGINX because it's a favorite open source solution. People are now using NGINX Plus because F5 just started selling it in the last year and a half. Out of the 90% who are using it, there are about 10-15% who are using the paid version.

We primarily use the solution as a proxy in communities. We’ve got some latencies in the database connection and some connection drops, so we use the proxy to make the database relevant. We use it for all the websites, the APIs, et cetera.

We use NGINX as solution for load balancing our cluster production. Currently, we don't have any plans to increase the usage because each license costs around $2000 - $2500.

I use it for eCommerce web servers and to reverse proxy in a different cases. I also use it for high availability, load balancing, and failover.
