    Overview

    Zing is an advanced Java runtime (JVM) designed for enterprise workloads that require any combination of large memory, high transaction rates, low latency, consistent response times or high sustained throughput. Zing eliminates Java garbage collection as a factor in production, and conforms to the Java SE standard for Java SE 8, 7, and 6.

    NGINX Plus is a versatile solution that offers load balancing, caching, proxying, and API deployment capabilities. It can be deployed on private or public clouds and is ideal for building CDN solutions. The solution can also be used to secure web applications and replace web services like Apache. 

    NGINX has helped organizations improve functioning, reduce downtimes, and offer a DevOps-friendly solution. Its community support and documentation are highly regarded, and its configuration is more straightforward, making it a recommended choice over HAProxy.
