NGINX, Inc.

This document discusses how digital transformation and cloud computing are driving companies to adopt new approaches to application development and delivery. It outlines some of the challenges with traditional monolithic architectures and describes how a microservices approach using containers and Kubernetes can help organizations scale applications across public and private clouds. The document shares customer stories of how companies like BuzzFeed, Mulesoft, Appnexus, and Netflix have leveraged NGINX products to modernize their architectures and improve performance, scalability, and costs when moving applications to the cloud.

6 “... 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
Netflix represents 35.2% of traffic on North American fixed networks Amazon CloudFront and ALB, CloudFlare CDN, StackPath CDN use NGINX Key Internet services built on NGINX
Traditional app delivery is a bottleneck • Hardware-defined delivery infrastructures don’t keep pace • Aging proprietary and open source platforms don’t perform • Current network and application security solutions don’t adapt • Private, public, and multi-cloud deployments don’t scale 8
Be secure and scalable. Become more flexible and agile. Build a center of app delivery excellence. A new approach is needed 11
What is this new approach . . . To the new world Three-tier, J2EE-style architectures Heavyweight (HTML, SOAP) Persistent deployments (hardware) Fixed, static Infrastructure Big-bang releases Siloed culture (Dev, Test, Ops) Microservices, multi-cloud Lightweight (REST, messaging) Adaptable deployments (containers, VMs) Software-defined, cloud infrastructure Continuous delivery DevOps culture 10 From the old world . . .
Scalable Infrastructure Scalable Architecture Scalable Delivery The holy trinity
Infrastructure should no longer be your problem
Pay-as-you go is appealing 13
Cloud providers provide a dizzying range of services
“This giant piece of software that made our company successful... is now a problem.”
Architecting for scale DevOps - a union of people, process, and products collaboration aimed at delivering high-quality software to the end user. Continuous Delivery – automated pipeline for shipping small batches of software from development to production in minutes. Microservices - an architectural approach to developing an application as a collection of small loosely coupled services that communicate over well defined APIs Containers - a low-overhead highly portable packaging; ideal compute vehicle for deploying individual microservices.

BuzzFeed Re-architects Their Monolith to Microservices with NGINX Plus “As we moved to microservices we realized that we needed a much smarter way of routing pages to our applications. The big benefits of NGINX Plus were firstly the support – we knew we had someone to contact, and could get the individual support we needed. Secondly, the DNS configuration with NGINX Plus allowed us to use sophisticated services in AWS. Thirdly, the metrics told us which servers were failing.” - John Cleveley, Senior Engineering Manager, BuzzFeed
Can software deliver at the scale of hardware?
Mulesoft Moves from Open Source to NGINX Plus for Greater Visibility & Control “NGINX Plus gives us the agility we need to anticipate and meet customers’ needs as they arise – without fear of compromising availability or performance.” - Serge Leschinsky, DevOps engineer at MuleSoft
Appnexus Manages Complex Customer Requests with High- performance and Low Cost “NGINX Plus does exactly what we need it to do. We can terminate each HTTP connection and process each request individually to apply the best load- balancing policy. The software can automatically optimize HTTP transactions to keep them alive, improving performance. We're sustaining approximately 75,000 transactions per second through a single instance of NGINX Plus.” - Louis Mamakos, Senior Network Architect, AppNexus
Netflix Cuts Costs and Reaches Over 50 million Subscribers in 40 Countries “We chose the NGINX web server software because of its proven scalability and performance. By working directly with the core engineering team at NGINX, Inc., we received great development support for our project.” - Florance, Vice President of Content Delivery at Netflix
