Book Description

One of its most important capabilities is content caching, which is a highly effective method for improving a website's performance. In this ebook, the authors describe how NGINX caches content, how to implement caching and cache clustering, and some of the ways to improve performance.

The text provides a deep dive into how content caching truly works so that readers are equipped to debug and diagnose events within NGINX. It also rounds up several clever hints and tips to grant fine-grained control over NGINX's handling of cacheable content and points toward additional resources for further exploration.

Caching removes the burden of serving and generating repetitive content from upstream servers, freeing them to run the applications the business requires. This provides end users with a better level of service and increases the overall reliability of the service, especially during large traffic spikes or potential upstream server failures.
