Project Description

Nginx (pronounced as engine x) is a powerful web server and reverse proxy that offers robust security and optimized performance for API deployment. Its reverse proxy feature shields servers from direct exposure and enhances security by efficiently forwarding client requests to appropriate web servers.

This project aims to deploy APIs to production environments using Nginx to unlock enhancing security, performance, and scalability.

By leveraging Nginx’s capabilities, we’ll focus on implementing robust security measures, optimizing performance by efficiently handling API requests, and enabling horizontal scaling to meet increased demand.
