What is NGINX Plus?

NGINX Plus is a software load balancer, web server, and content cache created over open source NGINX. NGINX Plus has unique enterprise-level features in addition to what is available in the open source offering, including session persistence, API configuration, and active health checks. Use NGINX Plus instead of your hardware load balancer and have the freedom to innovate without being limited by infrastructure.

Economically viable

Save more than 80% compared to hardware ADCs without sacrificing performance or functionality

Flexible and portable

Deploy anywhere: public cloud, private cloud, bare metal, virtual machines, and containers

Automated

Save time performing common tasks through the built-in NGINX Plus API

CORE FEATURES

Load balancer

Extend traditional load balancing with the software:

  • HTTP, TCP, and UDP load balancing
  • Layer 7 request routing using URI, cookie, args, and more
  • Cookie-based session persistence
  • Active health checks on status code and response body
  • Service discovery using DNS

Content Cache

Use the same cache that powers the world's largest CDNs:

  • Static and dynamic content cache
  • Improve dynamic content performance with microcaching
  • Serve "old" content by revalidating in the background to improve performance
  • Override or define cache control headers
  • Manage caching easily with the cache cleanup API

Web server

Deliver static assets with unmatched speed and efficiency:

  • Handle hundreds of thousands of customers simultaneously
  • Use up to 90% less memory than other web servers
  • Multiple reverse proxy protocols: HTTP, gRPC, memcached, PHP ? FPM, SCGI, uwsgi
  • Stream HTTP video: FLV, HDS, HLS, MP4
  • HTTP/2 gateway with HTTP/2 server push support

Security controls

Protect your apps:

  • Request and connection throttling
  • RSA / ECC SSL / TLS dual battery discharging
  • Support for TLS 1.3
  • Dynamic certificate loading
  • IP address-based access control lists (ACLs)
  • JWT authentication for OpenID Connect (SSO) APIs and single sign-on
  • NGINX WAF Dynamic Module

Dynamic modules

Dynamically connect additional features:

  • NGINX JavaScript module to execute JavaScript code during request processing
  • GeoIP modules to locate users by IP address (requires MaxMind GeoIP database)
  • Building tool to build your own custom modules
  • SSO Modules: ForgeRock, IDF Connect and Ping Identity
  • Repository of dynamic modules

Monitoring

Diagnose and debug complex application architectures:

  • Monitor NGINX metrics and validate configuration with NGINX Amplify
  • Plug-ins for AppDynamics, Datadog and Dynatrace
  • Extended status with more than 90 unique metrics
  • Built-in graphics panel in real time
  • JSON and HTML output for integration with custom monitoring tools

High availability

Scalable and reliable high availability deployments:

  • Active-active and passive-active HA modes
  • Configuration synchronization between NGINX Plus servers in a cluster
  • State sharing for resources, including Sticky-Learn session persistence, rate limit, and key value store
  • Easy installation with built-in script

Kubernetes Ingress Controller

Build Kubernetes apps with NGINX Plus in front:

  • Load balancing with SSL/ TLS termination
  • Support for WebSocket and HTTP/2
  • URI rewrite before the request is forwarded to the application
  • Exporter of Prometheus for monitoring
  • Session persistence and health checks
  • JWT Authentication

Programmability

Dynamically implement custom architectures:

  • NGINX JavaScript module for advanced scripts and configurations
  • Lua scripting language
  • Ansible, Chef and Puppet Integration
  • API to manage upstream servers, key value store, and real-time metrics
  • Dynamic reconfiguration without process reloads

Streaming Media

Provide streaming media in a scalable way:

  • Live stream: RTMP, Apple HTTP Live Streaming (HLS), Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH)
  • VOD: Flash (flv), MP4
  • Adaptive bit rate VOD: HLS, HDS (Dynamic Dynamic Streaming) from Adobe HTTP
  • Bandwidth controls for MP4 streaming

System requirements

Works with Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Plataform, Ubuntu, among others.
