---name: nginx-configurationdescription: >  Configure Nginx web server for high-performance reverse proxy, load balancing,  SSL/TLS, caching, and API gateway functionality.--- # Nginx Configuration ## Table of Contents - [Overview](#overview)- [When to Use](#when-to-use)- [Quick Start](#quick-start)- [Reference Guides](#reference-guides)- [Best Practices](#best-practices) ## Overview Master Nginx configuration for production-grade web servers, reverse proxies, load balancing, SSL termination, caching, and API gateway patterns with advanced performance tuning. ## When to Use - Reverse proxy setup- Load balancing between backend services- SSL/TLS termination- HTTP/2 and gRPC support- Caching and compression- Rate limiting and DDoS protection- URL rewriting and routing- API gateway functionality ## Quick Start Minimal working example: ```nginx# /etc/nginx/nginx.confuser nginx;worker_processes auto;worker_rlimit_nofile 65535;error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log warn;pid /var/run/nginx.pid; events {    worker_connections 4096;    use epoll;    multi_accept on;} http {    include /etc/nginx/mime.types;    default_type application/octet-stream;     # Logging    log_format main '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" '                    '$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '                    '"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';     log_format upstream_time '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] '                            '"$request" $status $body_bytes_sent '                            '"$http_referer" "$http_user_agent" '// ... (see reference guides for full implementation)``` ## Reference Guides Detailed implementations in the `references/` directory: | Guide | Contents ||---|---|| [Production Nginx Configuration](references/production-nginx-configuration.md) | Production Nginx Configuration || [HTTPS Server with Load Balancing](references/https-server-with-load-balancing.md) | HTTPS Server with Load Balancing || [Nginx Configuration Script](references/nginx-configuration-script.md) | Nginx Configuration Script || [Nginx Monitoring Configuration](references/nginx-monitoring-configuration.md) | Nginx Monitoring Configuration | ## Best Practices ### ✅ DO - Use HTTP/2 for performance- Enable SSL/TLS with strong ciphers- Implement proper caching strategies- Use upstream connection pooling- Monitor with stub_status or prometheus- Rate limit to prevent abuse- Add security headers- Use least_conn load balancing- Keep error logs separate from access logs ### ❌ DON'T - Disable gzip compression- Use weak SSL ciphers- Cache authenticated responses- Allow direct access to backends- Ignore upstream health checks- Mix HTTP and HTTPS without redirect- Use default error pages in production- Cache sensitive user data
