NGINX Plus Valuable Features

NGINX OSS typically doesn't give you enough persistence while NGINX Plus does, so that is an advantage. If you're using NGINX Plus as a load balancer in the front of your deployment, in front of your Kubernetes stack, or in your microservices deployment, then you will need persistence as a part of it. From an application perspective, you can still use NGINX OSS in general.

NGINX Plus also has NGINX App Protect. It's a separate module, which is inspired by the F5 apps. F5 has developed some capabilities on NGINX as well, so they're giving it a separate, payable module on NGINX. It's also a good solution for your microservices deployment.

With NGINX, I appreciate its ability to route traffic geographically. It acts as a proxy in the middle, which helps us manage traffic flow in complex networks. 

It takes the load off the actual mission-critical applications and transfers the traffic to the main applications with less burden. It's a very useful tool to have in your profile.

The load balancing module, which is equivalent to LTM, is the focus of the PSE. So far, the features of both are identical. I believe NGINX has more features for securing these services, but in terms of load balancing, both are massive solutions.

A valuable feature is the very high-performance load balancers on HTTP and it's also great that the product supports IMAP, POP and SMTP protocols for the reverse proxy.

I find the solution’s community support and documentation most valuable. Compared to HAProxy, have found a lot of documentation and community support on Quora. If you would be asking me as a developer whether to choose this product, I would recommend this since it has good community support, documentation, and signature updates. The configuration of HAProxy is also very tedious. However, NGINX’s configuration is very simple.

NGINX integrates well with your environment. It's better using NGINX than Apache.

I need to highlight that the number one thing about NGINX is that it is free. Aside from that, for big companies who want a lot of traffic and a big work block, we can build the solution for them.
