BOOK

Companies can solve significant scaling issues thanks to
switching their web platforms to Nginx. A popular web server for
building web infrastructure, Nginx transparently and effectively
enables the growth of the largest sites on the Internet today, on
top of being free and open source

This book is a practical reference providing you with everything
you need to know about Nginx module extensions. You will learn
how to write powerful and flexible configuration files and your
own modules, as well as gaining knowledge about Nginx's modular
architecture, available modules, and their intricate
details

Nginx Module Extension starts by teaching you to compile the
Nginx source on multiple platforms. Then you will learn the
synopsis, directives, and practical examples of the core
optional, and third party Nginx modules before familiarizing
yourself with Nginx internals, enabling you to write custom
modules

You will learn about the flexibility of the Nginx configuration
and how to enable and disable various options while building from
the source. You will learn to customize the Main and Events
module to fine-tune the web server performance, and you will also
