Nginx is an open-source server utility designed to work as a reverse proxy, intercepting client requests and routing them to an appropriate server.
Since then, it has grown to include load balancing, anonymizing, and scaling features. It also has features that can handle static resource requests more quickly than Apache, allowing you to balance requests to improve performance and resource usage strategically.
