At NGINX we help simplify the journey to microservices. Many of our customers would love to migrate to microservices, but have been held back by existing, complex application infrastructures with years of technical debt. When we talk to these companies, they’re surprised by how much they can simplify their infrastructure by consolidating common functions onto NGINX Plus.
With the NGINX Application Platform, we can collapse ten disparate functions into a single product suite. This includes web server, load balancer, reverse proxy, content cache, application server, web application firewall (WAF), API gateway, Kubernetes ingress controller, sidecar proxy, and service mesh controller. Using the NGINX Application Platform, we are helping our customers reduce complexity and begin migrating to a modern, microservices-based architecture.

“... when I started NGINX,
I focused on a very specific
problem – how to handle more
customers per a single server.”
- Igor Sysoev, NGINX creator and founder
