Cranking Nginx up to 11
summary
Nginx is shown doing far more than static files: memcache pass directly from nginx lets Nginx serve APIs without PHP, modules let Nginx talk to Redis, GeoIP, MogileFS and even Drizzle/MySQL and return JSON, and header modules add or clear headers without touching application code. Live reloads and live binary upgrades keep workers alive during upgrades. Examples include a 2GB cache with 600 minute inactive TTL and caching 404s for 1 minute, and use of proxy_cache_use_stale to prevent stampedes; modules require compiling.
