Got this glow-in-a-dark sticker.
I finally got a real reason to use Nginx

How?

@Jilano

On a future laptop

@AnushPatel

It glows

@Linux Sorry - How did you get it 🤦‍♂️im quite Bad at explaining things

@AnushPatel

Haha, I was joking :)

I got it from Nginx, the booth a nextConf London

@Linux London?! When was this 😲 Considering I live in Norwich I could have made that event 🤦‍♂️

@AnushPatel
It was for Nutanix users thou

@Linux Nice! Whereabouts in London was it?

@Linux I recall hearing about there datacenters... the company is Canadian right?

@AnushPatel
I actually dont know where it was, I fell asleep on the way there and did not really bother looking it up because I just wanted beer lol

Nutanix makes HCI solutions, Kinda cool! They are American I think

I got one of those too :) coolest sticker ever

ngeengks

@kenogo

Nginx is barely faster than Apache actually.

All benchmarks between Nginx and Apache compare a newer version on Nginx to Apache 2.2. which is stupid and unproffesional.

@kenogo

Yeah , it boils down to personal preference really :)

@kenogo lol you are kidding right ? Have you seen the memory footprint of Apache?

There's a very good and valid reason why out of the box nginx can handle tens of thousands of requests per second and Apache can handle a few hundred at best.

Go look at some performance comparisons, they are not even in the same ball park

@Linux go run the tests yourself. They aren't even in the same ball park.

@unclekev
Ive done it, and there is a very small difference. The test is comparing either an old Apache version or Apache MPM.

Try to run Apache 2.4 prefork instead.
