Nginx (pronunciation: /ˌɛndʒᵻnˈɛks/ EN-jən-EKS), stylized as (NGINX, NGiИX or nginx), is a web server, which can also be used as a reverse proxy, load balancer and HTTP cache.
Created by Igor Sysoev in 2004, it runs on Unix, Linux, BSD variants, macOS, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, and Windows.
Nginx is free and open source software, released under the terms of a BSD-like license. A company of the same name was founded in 2011 to provide support.
